In this work, I rethink SUDI: SIDS, also known as cot death, within a kaupapa Māori framework. I use the term mate ohorere pēpi, not as an equivalent of SUDI: SIDS, but to encompass all the aspects of a Māori experience of the sudden death of a pēpi (baby).
I argue that SUDI in Māori whanau must be understood as mate ohorere pēpi, and therefore discussion and practice related to sudden Māori infant death must include Māori understandings of the Māori spiritual world, tapu, wairua, whakapono, whakapapa, whakawhānau, whenua, whānau, whānaungātangā, tangihanga.
