Partnering with Māori to reflect values, beliefs, and customs
The idea of wellbeing is an intrinsic and fundamental part of te ao Māori – a Māori world view. Incorporating wellbeing from te ao Māori perspectives is vital for Ngā Tūtohu Aotearoa – Indicators Aotearoa New Zealand. It enhances the relevance and richness of the indicator set for Aotearoa New Zealand.
Stats NZ is committed to further developing the set of indicators to incorporate concepts of wellbeing from a te ao Māori perspective. It is proposed that iwi and Māori partner with Stats NZ to develop a suite of indicators that support iwi and Māori strategic directions within a Treaty of Waitangi partnership context, and reflect a te ao Māori wellbeing vision for Aotearoa New Zealand.
