Nga Pae o Te Maramatanga.
Abstract: Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, or the National Institute of Research Excellence for Māori Development and Advancement, is one of New Zealand’s eight officially recognised Centres of Research Excellence. As New Zealand’s Māori Centre of Research Excellence, we are pursuing a unique vision for achieving full participation by Māori in all aspects of society and the economy.
In putting this vision into practice, our key aims are to:
Foster healthy communities in healthy environments
Encourage social and educational transformation, and to
Bring a uniquely Māori view to new frontiers of knowledge.
Our name, “Horizons of Insight”, is taken from a Whakataukī, or proverb, about the power of knowledge to bring enlightenment. Our work focuses on three core programmes: research, capability building and knowledge exchange. Each programme has a Programme Leader with support staff, along with the Business Manager and their support staff they form the Secretariat. The Directors of the Centre report to a Governing Board for the overall functioning of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga.
Since we were founded in 2002 we have made it possible for over 2000 Māori scholars, community members and international academics to engage in new research and its applications. Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga research is published widely in leading national and international journals. Several projects have produced findings that have been acted on by government and other agencies such as District Health Boards and educational organisations.
Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga is funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC). Our administrative headquarters are at The University of Auckland, with our founding entities being the Universities of Auckland acting through Te Wānanga o Waipapa, Otago acting through the Eru Pōmare Health Research Centre, Victoria acting through He Pārekereke: The Institute for Research and Development in Education; and the Māori Business Unit, School of Business and Public Management and Waikato acting through its Māori Education Research Institute, Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, and the Auckland War Memorial Museum.

This database has been funded by the Ministry of Health to ensure more ready access to research, literature, and conference papers relating to Māori mental health. Over 1200 abstracts are included, with many links and full text articles as well as a growing collection of Masters and PhD theses.
Please note, inclusion in the database does not indicate endorsement of the content by Te Rau Matatini. It is our hope that the database will increase access to relevant literature by students, policy makers, researchers, whānau and mental health workers, and from this, further Māori mental health service development, service delivery, and workforce development gains will be made.

The name Te Ipu Whakahauā was given to this resource database by Rocky Hudson and Rawiri Wharemate. Te Ipu refers to a bowl that one can draw sustenance from or provide sustenance to. Whakahauā refers to the wind that emerges to form the awhiowhio (whirlwind) which travels both ways, up and down and is driven by the forces of wairua which is fed from Ranginui to Papatuanuku. Papatuanuku then reciprocates by giving back to Ranginui.
In relation to this database, it is our hope that the resources contained will assist and inform those seeking more information about Māori mental health and in drawing from the database, further fruits and benefits will be returned to contribute positively to whānau ora. |
