About this research
Project Summary
Kauora is a whānau derived theory and praxis of swimming that was created as a product of Raureti’s (2023) PhD which redefined and reimagined how whānau engage in swimming. Currently, Kauora is being implemented into Te Kura-ā-iwi o Whakatupuranga Rua Mano, Te Kōhanga Reo o Raukawa and the wider whānau in Ōtaki to establish a sustainable whānau kaupapa wai that serves the aspirations of the whānau, hapū and iwi through Raureti’s Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Currently, there is no method to authentically protect the data that is collected, and there is no succession plan for the data and mātauranga that is obtained.
The aim of this project is to work alongside the Kauora kaupapa to create a data sovereignty policy and methodology for Ngāti Kapu to protect the mātauranga and reo that is collected whilst learning about kaupapa wai in Ōtaki.
The outcome will provide clear guidelines that will inform the Kauora rangahau data collection, outputs and whakatupu mātauranga. Simultaneously it will work towards the aspirations of the hapū that were recognised through the Ngāti Kapu WAI220, WAI1630 and WAI113B claims that were heard at Te Pou o Tainui Marae in March 2024.

Kauora is a whānau-derived theory and practice of swimming, developed through Raureti’s doctoral research, that redefines how whānau engage in kaupapa wai. This project supports its implementation by developing a data sovereignty policy for Ngāti Kapu to guide the protection and long-term sustainability of mātauranga, reo and whānau data gathered through this kaupapa in Ōtaki.
