Whakapapa

Hapu (pregnant) was considered important and a very special time because the new life will be included in the whakapapa (geneology) of the whanau (family).

The Maori culture was transmitted through the telling of stories, waiata (songs) and the reciting of whakapapa (genealogies)

WHARE TANGATA

While the baby is inside the womb, the mother provides oxygen and food through the whenua (placenta).

The whenua is connected to baby through the pito (umbilical cord)

This principle gives Maori the autonomy and authority over health and recognises the right to manage Maori wellbeing
