Te Taha Māori

Te Taha Māori is one of the four dimensions within the Māori model of well-being, focusing on Māori identity, culture, language, and spirituality. It emphasizes the importance of connections to Māori heritage and tikanga (customs), fostering a sense of belonging and pride. This dimension recognizes that Māori well-being is deeply rooted in cultural knowledge, practices, and values, supporting individuals and communities to maintain their cultural integrity and spiritual health. Essentially, Te Taha Māori ensures that Māori perspectives and traditions are integral to understanding and promoting overall well-being.
