What is Māori Philosophy? Why is Tikanga-Informed Care so important? What does tapu & mana have to do with health & wellbeing? How can mauri be used as a target for healing interventions? What is an ontology of whanaungatanga? How does Māori philosophy differ from some Western philosophic traditions? This video provides an overview of Te Ao Raranga: The Weaving Universe, a framework of Māori philosophy. The framework is based on a modern interpretation of traditional Māori metaphysics, by consultant psychiatrist Dr Kiri Prentice (Ngai Tūhoe & Ngāti Awa). A useful resource for students, health professionals and those with a curious mind.

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.
