Te Arotahi: Māori-led Policy Papers for Transformative Change
Te Arotahi is Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga’s policy paper series. It shares expert thought and research to inform discussion, policy, and positive action for whānau, hapū, iwi, and wider Māori communities, which benefits all New Zealanders.
The series includes three publication types:
- Arotahi – Substantive research reports focused on a single kaupapa
- Aropū – Short impact briefs summarising key findings and outcomes
- Arowhānui – Evidence syntheses drawing from multiple NPM projects
All papers are freely available and designed to share policy-relevant, Māori-researched solutions.
Kaupapa Māori models now required to reduce disparities and measure outcomes.
The government departmental and judicial system for making decisions about the care and protection of tamariki Māori when their whānau are in crisis needs urgent societal attention. A Kaupapa Māori approach is required to make the best use of the opportunities available in the recently amended legislation to avoid the further systemic undermining of Māori and their whānau.
