Join us for an in-person launch of Ngā Rauemi mō Te Ao Māori - Resources for Understanding the Māori World View.
This collection of educational resources represents a comprehensive exploration of Te Ao Māori – the Māori world view - specifically developed to assist business, investment, and finance professionals in understanding and integrating Māori perspectives into their practice. These documents emerged from the recognition that as Aotearoa New Zealand continues to evolve as a bicultural nation, there is an urgent need for deeper cultural competency across all sectors, particularly within the investment and finance industries.
Author, Temuera Hall will share key insights from this work and the broader system this sits within. This work builds upon the profound Indigenous knowledge systems that have guided Māori communities for centuries. It draws particularly from Te Ao Tahito narratives and traditional whakapapa, while also incorporating contemporary applications developed through initiatives like the TAHITO indigenous ethical investment framework. The resources include extensive practical guidance, from understanding how to identify appropriate Māori authorities to work with, to implementing culturally responsive frameworks that honour Treaty principles while delivering business value.
More details and speakers to be announced soon!
