Abstract

This paper explores the profound connections between Kaupapa Māori research and practice through the reflections of Māori practitioners. As part of a Kaupapa Māori research internship funded by Te Whatu Ora, hosted at Ngā Wai a Te Tūī, and co-led by Dr Hinekura Smith and Associate Professor Byron Rangiwai, this paper presents the perspectives of four Māori practitioners. Marcel Croul (Ngāti Tamaterā) discusses his film-editing practice in the context of a collaboration with Dr Hinekura Smith to create a short documentary on the wahine-led practice of whatuora. Allana Goldsmith (Ngāti Porou, Ngāi Tai) explores her jazz-singing practice, combining jazz music with a Māori worldview. Manaaki Fletcher (Ngāti Awa, Ngāi Tūhoe) examines the connection between Kaupapa Māori research and kapa haka, and discovers that kapa haka may be understood as a manifestation of Kaupapa Māori research. Atareta Moses (Ngāti Awa, Ngāi Tūhoe) investigates the intersections and opportunities concerning Kaupapa Māori and human-resource management.
