About this research
This project investigates the wellbeing (economic indicators) of Māori households whānau of a specific iwi using New Zealand Census data from 1991–2006.
The project aimed to provide greater sovereignty to iwi by providing an evidence base for their decision-making through analysis of this data. Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi jointly lead this programme of work with support from the Centre of Methods and Policy Applications in the Social Sciences (COMPASS). However, overall the study, its analyses and outcomes are owned and directed by the iwi for which the study is undertaken. The iwi involved include Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Awa, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui and Ngāti Kahungunu. The research enables better understanding of the pattern and level of wellbeing as defined by Census data for iwi subgroups, contributing to enhanced informed decision making. This information provides not only the most comprehensive set of socio-demographic data, but also patterns in wellbeing and whānau structure and composition over time. It is hoped that this project and its analyses not only strengthens decision-making, but enables a framework for some assessment of the impact of past initiatives and decisions and, perhaps most importantly, provides empirical evidence for determining the future initiatives for an iwi. The project team is currently analysing further data, and information and consulting with involved communities to ensure the analysis, data and indicators are more meaningful to them.

He Mangōpare Amohia: Strategies for Māori Economic Development
Critical success factors for Māori economic development have been identified in a just released report on the three-year Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) research programme – Te Tupunga Māori Economic Development.
This significant research programme was led by Distinguished Professor Graham Hingangaroa Smith of Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, who partnered with four participating iwi - Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Kahungunu, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui and Ngāpuhi and brought their values, insights and aspirations to the project.
Their vision was to identify ways of transforming Māori/iwi economic development and find models that would appropriately reflect the economic interests of Māori, as well as their social and cultural development aspirations.
