Poukōkiri Mātauranga Toi
Hāwea Apiata (Ngāti Kura, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Toarangatira) currently works as the Poukōkiri Mātauranga Toi based in Te Iho o Te Manawataki|Library. In this role he works across both the University’s art & taonga collections as well as the open research space (research dissemination & publishing).
In his work in the arts space he curates exhibitions, advises on and contributes to the campus gallery’s exhibition program, and applies an Indigenous lens to collection care, management, and research alongside the Poutiaki Taonga and Kaitiaki Mātangireia.
In the open research space, he supports researchers in making their scholarly work open and accessible. In addition to this, his role includes implementing and advising on Māori data sovereignty and aligning research practice with the institution-wide commitment to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
As an emerging writer, he has an established creative writing practice in poetry and short fiction, with his writing being published in a range of journals and anthologies both in Aotearoa and overseas. He also has related research interests in Māori & Indigenous literatures more broadly, as well as archival objects and spaces, Māori & Indigenous spiritualities, and te reo Māori.

Universities in Aotearoa hold a vast, largely unmapped, collection of Māori data. With that, these institutions are in positions of power to control the ways in which Māori data is collected, stored, accessed and used, often without meaningful involvement from Māori communities.

Universities in Aotearoa hold a vast, largely unmapped, collection of Māori data. With that, these institutions are in positions of power to control the ways in which Māori data is collected, stored, accessed and used, often without meaningful involvement from Māori communities. Organised across three objectives, this project explores how Māori data governance can be strengthened within academic policy and institutional contexts in ways which give effect to Māori Data Sovereignty for Māori hāpori, hapū and iwi.
The first objective investigates the potential for Machine Learning to identify and locate Māori research data held within universities.
Objective two examines existing approaches to Māori data governance within a university context and identifies opportunities to bring institutional policies and practices into alignment with Te Kāhui Raraunga's Māori Data Governance Model.
The third objective focuses on the relationships between Māori rightsholders and their data, exploring how Māori aspirations for MDSov can be at the centre of all decision-making.
