The Whakauae team recently joined Ngāti Hauiti to support the review of Te Whakauae a Tamatea, the iwi's research strategy, as well as the formulation of a new strategy for the period 2019 – 2029. All whānau were invited to join in a full day hui to carry out this work. Held at Rātā Marae, on 22 February 2019, the hui was led by experienced group facilitator, Teresa Taylor (Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Tūkorehe, Ngāti Kahungunu, Pākehā).
Te Whakauae a Tamatea was developed in 2004 and endorsed by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Hauiti later the same year. The strategy recognises the place of research as one of the four key kokonga, or cornerstones, for Ngāti Hauiti social and institutional development. It includes a research planning framework as well as a research vision, purpose, guiding principles and research principles. A series of five goals and corresponding objectives are a feature of Te Whakauae a Tamatea. These goals are to: establish Whakauae Research, develop the Māori research workforce, strengthen existing and develop new partnerships, develop iwi-based Māori research models and establish a robust research programme.
Review of progress towards meeting Te Whakauae a Tamatea goals and objectives highlighted the huge strides that have been made over the past 15 years. All goals have successfully been met with hui participants agreeing that the time is now right to move ahead with a fresh set of goals for the further development of Ngāti Hauiti over the next ten years. The latter part of the research strategy hui dealt with the framing up of broad parameters for what the new strategy might look like. A research strategy working group, made up of five iwi members including two members of the Whakauae Board of Directors, was formed to carry out the development work over the coming months. It is anticipated that the draft research strategy for the period 2019 – 2029 will be presented for discussion by the working group at the mid-year Ngāti Hauiti Hui a Tau.
