About this research
This research project focused on Māori youth and documenting their social territories using multi-media visual data generated by the participants, in conjunction with wānanga and university-based practitioners and students in photography and film media. The researchers employed new methods in visual sociology and worked collaboratively with Māori youth and their iwi communities. Relationships were established with communities within Ngāpuhi, Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Toa, Ngāi Tahu, across urban, semi-urban, small town and rural areas.

This research explores ‘mahi rangatira’ as central to Māori entrepreneurship, innovation and risk. Māori have a long history of entrepreneurship indicated by their navigation of Te Moana nui ā Kiwa, the Pacific Ocean. Pere asserts that, “mahi rangatira is doing what is great for the whole; it is serving the people with no hierarchy” (Pere, 2016, April 29). In the context of this study, mahi rangatira is a process which embraces opportunity for entrepreneurial pursuits with the intent of collective well-being and by its nature, exercising tino rangatiratanga .
This research explores how mahi rangatira was expressed in historical-entrepreneurial contexts and how it is enacted among kaupapa driven Māori entrepreneurs in a contemporary-entrepreneurial context. I explore mahi rangatira from a collective well-being perspective historically and how kaupapa driven Māori entrepreneurs engage with mahi rangatira from a contemporary perspective. Critically, this research seeks to study the processes, systems, and characteristics of the mahi (work practices/ activities) that constitute mahi rangatira as entrepreneurial pursuits. I interviewed 12 kaupapa driven entrepreneurs and will report my findings to them. I will also present at and design workshops for Māori business networks and tribal entities, groups as well as academic forums.
