About this research
Bonnie Maihi (Waikato-Tainui), University of Waikato
This project explores education and work pathways for Maaori Rangatahi/youth growing up in Aotearoa gang spaces.
The research aims to create awareness of pathways for Maaori children growing up in Aotearoa gang spaces and contribute to the development of Maaori whaanau in Aotearoa gang spaces by providing space for the silenced Maaori gang member
The majority of collaboration at this point is to be with whaanau in the gang spaces, alongside those showing leadership with our whaanau in these spaces. Other options may include - marae, hapuu and iwi.
The research contributes to a space which many Maaori whaanau occupy - providing a platform Tino Rangatiratanga / Self-determination Whaanau development - whaanau encouragement to find own solutions to nuturing ragatahi in these spaces onto school & work pathways.
