Abstract
Weaving together traditional Māori knowledge from the past with our current practice realities of the present as a guide for the provision of tangata whenua supervision for the future. Körari as it is known in Te Tai Tokerau, commonly called flax or harakeke, is an important natural resource our tūpuna used for a range of purposes. Kōrari contains healing qualities and one of its practical uses both traditionally and today is weaving, and in particular weaving kete. Kete are symbolic in our whakapapa stories about the pursuit and application of knowledge and the tikanga used for weaving contain important stories, principles and practices that can guide us in our mahi and our lives.
Highlights
He Körero Körari is a tangata whenua supervision framework that uses the analogy of weaving a kete as a guide for developing responsive supervision for tangata whenua
The four scenarios outlined above were committed to the development and application of Kaupapa Mäori supervision to support Mäori practitioners working with whänau Mäori in different practice contexts
All aimed to use supervision as a resource to embed Mäori principles into practice and improve the integration of Mäori models and approaches. They had a desire to increase the ‘oranga’ of Mäori practitioners so they in turn could increase positive outcomes for whänau Mäori engaged in their services
