Māori culture

Māori culture has remained a huge part throughout my upbringing. I have been able to recognise the importance which has been encouraged throughout my studies, more now than ever. The role I will play as a treaty partner approaches the importance of having familiarity of New Zealand history alongside skills (Lang, 2002) essential to have an effective outcome in my practice as an Early Childhood Educator. To achieve a positive outcome in my practice I will educate myself with the significant historic events which have taken place in New Zealand such as the Treaty of Waitangi which will then be passed on throughout the classroom within planned activities which will take place for the children, helping expand their knowledge and understanding the importance of these historic events which have taken place in the country they live in. In my understanding of becoming an effective treaty partner would be inclusive of basic knowledge and understanding of Te Reo, learning commands, waiata and terms which I could in cooperate into my practice in the classroom. Strand four, goal three in Te Whāriki encourage children as they are able to experience such an environment where they are able to experience stories and symbols of their own and other cultures (Ministry of Education, 1996). I would like have positive relationships with children, being inclusive of each child as well…

noteworthy than oneself" (University of Minnesota,2016). As a health care professional we have to identify Maoris qualities and beliefs.

It was such a lovely experience for all our children and staff and I hope brought us all closer together as the Jump Start whanau. A group of children were also recently taken to the Hamilton museum for a trip to make poi. They spent a great deal of the time at the museum taking in the culture and then making some authentic poi with the lovely ladies at the museum. This was a very special outing for these girls as they really enjoy kapahaka and especially using the poi. Our learning stories…

professional, being able to recognize hindrances demonstrates a change in Maori focussed care, enabling Maori to get further knowledge in regards to their health and further education will allow them to take control of their own well-being status.

Albany When we drove down to Albany it was about a 4.5 hour car ride south of Perth. The Longitude and Latitude of Albany is 35.0228° S, 117.8814° E. It is located on the tip of South West Australia. The car ride down had a lot of traffic on the Albany Highway which links Perth to Albany. But eventually when we passed the city there wasn’t as much. Along the ride I enjoyed the scenery of the farms with lovely animals such as horses and cows. Albany established itself as an important European…

To provide this environment I as student nurse need to grow respectful relationships with my Maori patients and gain knowledge of their Maori cultural practices. I can…

Synopsis of film During a time of modernization, poverty, and the decentralization of the Maori’s culture, one local leader (Koro) looked upon “hope” in a form of a prophet. According to ancient myth, the oldest…

There were Maori chiefs who did share their thoughts and criticisms on the treaty. Among the many concerns of British colonisation, Maori were most importantly against the proposal of having another person, country, taking charge and governing them. Because of Maori strong spiritual connection to the land, they understandably feared the possibility that their land would be taken from them, as a result of British governing New Zealand. This ideology is shown in an account from a Maori chief,…
