Ngā Hua a Te Matatini : The benefits of kapa haka to Aotearoa
About this research
Conscious of the lack of serious inquiry into Kapa Haka, the CEO of Te Matatini Inc, the National Organisation for Kapa Haka in Aotearoa New Zealand approached Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, New Zealand’s Māori Centre of Research Excellence (NPM), to make a start on rectifying this situation. This programme of research seeks to better appreciate the value and benefits of Kapa Haka to our present context and, importantly, future vision, in turn providing clear evidence and well-articulated arguments required to support balanced decision-making, investment and future development.
This is an ongoing and largely unfunded programme of work. If you are a student or researcher and have an interest in any aspect of kapa haka research we are keen to hear from you. Please contact us at email: research@maramatanga.ac.nz
