Maori Lens

Kaupapa Maori Theory is about the idea of struggle; the need to create space in which we wish to develop our thinking that relates to Maori elements and has its own validityLeadership is the ability • To reconcile those differences while recognising that we exist within three

realms; Te Ao Maori (as Maori), Aotearoa (as New Zealanders) and Te Ao Whanui (as Global Citizens).• To occupy and own the space between Matauranga Maori (Maori

knowledge) and other pools of knowledge is essential • To recognise Maori have a way of looking at health which is markedly

different from looking at disease.
