He Pito Whenua: A kaupapa Māori approach to relationality and place-based systems

Course
Grounded in kaupapa Māori principles and values this course interrogates relationality and place-based systems from an indigenous perspective. Drawing on a kaupapa Māori values framework, students explore how colonial worldviews that elevate extraction, ownership and short-term profit over reciprocity and responsibility have displaced Māori and indigenous knowledge place based systems that sustained planetary balance and health. The course advocates restoring relationality and how to be in relationship with place beginning locally and extending globally through comparative indigenous perspectives.
