Māori Studies

Māori Studies is an academic field that explores the history, culture, language, and traditions of the Māori people of New Zealand. It aims to deepen understanding of Māori identity, social structures, arts, and worldview, while also examining their contemporary experiences and contributions. The discipline promotes appreciation and respect for Māori heritage and seeks to foster cross-cultural awareness. Through research, education, and dialogue, Māori Studies helps preserve Māori knowledge and supports their ongoing cultural revitalization within New Zealand and beyond.
