Abstract
ABSTRACT Household food insecurity in the rural township of Kaitaia is evident. This study aimed to explore strategies used by Māori (indigenous New Zealanders) mothers to meet food access needs for their whānau (family). In-depth personal interviews were undertaken with 20 Māori mothers. Three themes emerged from thematic analysis using NVivo: ensuring the whānau is fed; accessing food from multiple avenues is a time-consuming journey and the need to cope with the unexpected and unplanned. Access to food was further facilitated by strong connections to whānau, community groups and government agencies which are pivotal to navigate multiple avenues for food access.
