Kaupapa Maori Research, Collaboration and Transformation

 

This presentation is a discussion on the place of Kaupapa Māori Research as collaborative and transformative praxis within a Kaupapa Māori Social Justice organisation, Tu Tama Wahine o Taranaki.

 

Tu Tama Wahine o Taranaki is a Kaupapa Māori common good organisation with over 30 years of experience in delivering health and social services successfully across the Taranaki region.  The origins of the organisation, however, date back to 1881 and the plunder of Parihaka where clear instructions were given to the remaining women to continue on with the work of their tūpuna and take on the roles and responsibilities of the whānau in upholding tikanga Māori and maintaining the care and well-being of whānau. “E tu tama wahine i te waa o te kore.” — Te Whiti o Rongomai (1881).

 

Over the past 10 years Tū Tama Wāhine has worked in collaboration with leading Kaupapa Māori theorists and researchers to inform the work undertaken to support Māori whānau and communities. This presentation discussion will explore the importance of Kaupapa Māori research as collaboration and co-production.

From BADDR to good data practices: Indigenous data sovereignty in action

 

Governments in the settler colonial states of Australasia and North America have amassed a huge volume of data on Indigenous communities for  population monitoring and policy interventions, particularly in the  area of human health. Too often these statistical efforts result in what Palawa scholar Maggie Walter calls ‘BADDR’ data – data that Blames, is Aggregated in senseless ways, is Decontextualised, Deficit-based and has Restrictions imposed by governments. In response, Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov) asserts the rights of Indigenous peoples and nations to control the collection, ownership, and application of data about their people, territories, lifeways and natural resources.

 

This talk provides an overview of key developments in Indigenous data sovereignty and discusses how Indigenous models of ‘good data’ provide a way forward for creating ethical, high value, high trust data ecosystems. It describes two case studies – one a Māori hapū (subtribe)-led project focused on the reclaiming of genealogical data – the other an Indigenous controlled local to national digital data infrastructure that will hold individual and community level health information with a dynamic consent system inbuilt. The implications of this system will be discussed in reference to health (and nursing) related research to create good data practice.
