Does Māori Philosophy even exist? Isn't it just mythology & primitive animism? These are some common misconceptions held by some very famous men including Charle's Darwin, Edward B. Tylor, George Grey and Elsdon Best. In this video I discuss these misconceptions and I also share some local history about Takapuna Beach in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, including stories about a three fingered chief & dead bodies in trees. This video is the 2nd in my Uncovering Māori Philosophy series.

Are you working on transforming models of care and service design or updating your organisation's strategy, so that you can work better with Māori? Well, you’ll likely find this helpful. Introducing the Ngā Waka e Whā Māori Integration Model. “Māori Integration” itself is a very broad concept that includes: • the involvement of tāngata Māori, • the use of Matauranga Māori, • the utelisation of tikanga, • and more. Māori Integration is necessary for organisations committed to meeting their Tiriti o Waitangi obligations. This short video introduces the Ngā Waka e Whā Māori Integration Model. It uses the simple yet powerful metaphor of waka to help services and organisations determine their current position, their target position and start to develop their strategic plan to achieve their goals.
