What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content

Nau mai e hine, nau mai e tama ki tēnei kaupapa a tātou. Whātoro mai ōu ringa ki ngā mātauranga ka hora ki mua i a koutou. Huakina mai ō kanohi kia tau mai he māramatanga, kia paku hīnātore mai rānei ngā mōhiotanga kei mua i tō aroaro.

Welcome to MAORI200 where we examine the origins and unique contributions of mana wahine perspectives and consider the diverse expressions of mana wahine both within and outside the academy. As we traverse the worlds of Māori and Indigenous women I encourage you to embrace the perspectives and ideas that are shared with you.

I also ask that you bring three things to this paper

1: A willingness to learn

2: A positive work ethic

3: Respect for others in this paper

This paper examines foundational aspects of mana wahine scholarship, the impact of colonisation on Māori and Indigenous women, and the resistant spaces negotiated by Māori women including their contributions to decolonisation. Particular attention will be paid to the Mana Wahine Reader volumes One and Two and the 2021 and 2022 Mana Wāhine Hearings WAI2700.
