About this research
This research was a community action research project dedicated to identifying ways in which to advance Te Reo
Māori within the homes of Ngāi Te Rangi whānau. The research team worked with whānau to develop strategies for ‘learning interventions’ that can operate within the community, and within the home. The results indicate that increasing language in the home depends on more inter-whānau relationships, inter-whānau dynamics and intra-personal dynamics then it does on language course history, language inputs or even the process of language acquisition itself.

This research explores the potential for interdisciplinary-based multimedia, performance, and Fashion design investigations to perform as knowledge repositories. The project aims to restore & revitalize understandings of a Taranaki cosmological worldview that can inform and enhance knowledge exchange through art and design research.
Moreover, an overview and role of ‘Rongo’ (cosmological deity representing the god of cultivation and peace) and how ‘Rongo’ as an entity can better enhance an understanding of creative design/art practices is explored. From this perspective, the project aims at providing Māori and non-‐Māori appropriate ways of developing creative methods using holistic cultural frameworks. But more specifically, ‘Taku Taranakitanga’ becomes the overarching perspective of this project and aims to position this research from a Taranaki, Ngāti Ruanui, Hāmua, Hāpotiki, and Taiporohenui Pā worldview.

This research will explore this new conceptual framework underpinned by matauranga Maori, which is characterised as generous, regenerative and generational. The 'Aroha Economy' is a system underpinned by the connectedness and interdependence of all living things. It locates economy, people and community within the context of collective prosperity, ecmystems of reciprocal relationships and environmental pre-eminence.
