Maori and Indigenous Studies is a broad subject that explores the culture, knowledge, and philosophies of Maori and Indigenous peoples, and their economic, political, and social experiences. These studies are increasingly seen as central to biculturalism in Aotearoa as well as in our global multicultural society. Study Involve: Study a range of historical and contemporary issues that Indigenous people face such as their relationship to science and politics, public services, and material culture. Aotahi: School of Maori and Indigenous Studies operates as a whanau to help you explore the heritage of Aotearoa. Take this subject as a minor in a wide range of bachelor’s degrees so you can combine your other subjects with matauranga Maori.
