Abstract
Toi Reo, Toi Ora, Whatuora, explores Māori arts-based pedagogy and practice to story the aspirations of three connected Māori-medium whānau in the Waitematā Kāhui Ako, in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Through the Māori pedagogy and practice of whatu kākahu (cloak making), this research contributes to the scholarship and practice of Māori arts-based pedagogies as key language and cultural revitalisation practices within rūmaki reo (Māori-language immersion) education. Importantly, this research sets out to strengthen Māori-language community relationships through the pedagogy of whatu wānanga, to better support kura understandings of, and responses to, whānau aspirations for flourishing reo and tikanga.

The aim of this literature review is to support our argument that Māori creative practice, in this context of whatu, is more than the traditional finger-weaving practice used to create whatu kākahu (woven Māori cloaks) as a product. Instead, whatu is a practice, a set of ideas, and theory that has previously been characterised as kaupapa Māori research methodology (G. Smith, 2003; H. J. Smith, 2017; 2019; L. Smith, 2021) and is now being advanced as Māori arts pedagogy.
[...]
Māori creative practice would benefit from reflecting on how and why they teach the way they do, exploring questions such as: What is Māori about my pedagogy? How and why do I teach the way I do? How much of how I teach stems from the way that I was taught?
