    Ngā Wai Rerekē: the water streams of difference
    (Taylor and Francis Group on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2025-07-02) Lewis GN; Ihaka B; Morunga E; Bean DJ; Terry G; Roberts M; Ripia D
    Māori-centred research reflects a partnership between Māori and non-Māori researchers, working together on projects designed to benefit whānau Māori (Māori families). Such cross-cultural partnerships are challenging, particularly when embedded within Western-centred academic environments. The goal of our project was to review publications discussing how Māori-centred research had been or should be undertaken to identify ways such research partnerships could be better supported in academia. From a structured review of 19 articles, we generated a model of partnership, Ngā Wai Rerekē (water streams of difference), that incorporates key concepts of whakapapa (history), whanaungatanga (relationship), mana ōrite (shared management), kotahitanga (unity), wero (challenge), and he koha mō te iwi Māori (benefit for Māori). Ngā Wai Rerekē is a model of two streams coming together to form a river, reflecting the relationship between Māori and non-Māori. The model emphasises the importance of this relationship between research partners over the research project. It highlights the necessity of beneficial outcomes for Māori, discusses the challenges that commonly present, and describes actions that can facilitate stronger relationships. At the conclusion, we present recommendations for individuals and institutions to facilitate Māori-centred research in a way that promotes meaningful outcomes for whānau Māori.

    Decolonising Qualitative Analysis: Collectively Weaving Understanding Using Talanoa and Fa’afaletui Pacific-Indigenous Research Methods
    (SAGE Publications, 2024-01-01) Mafile’o T; Vaka S; Leau K; Satele P; Alefaio-Tugia S
    Sense-making processes shape the messages and impacts of qualitative research. Using qualitative data analysis methods embedded within a Pacific-Indigenous research paradigm decolonises research. This article discusses the Pacific-Indigenous data analysis processes of talanoa and fa’afaletui employed within a study of Pacific elder care in Aotearoa New Zealand, conducted by scholars of Pacific/Moana heritage. While research literature has primarily identified talanoa and fa’afaletui as data collection methods, we discuss our use of talanoa and fa’afaletui as methods of analysis. Talanoa and fa’afaletui were engaged as collective processes of orality weaving understanding from the researchers’ lived experiences and navigating across languages. Enhancing authenticity and actionability are identified as benefits of talanoa and fa’afaletui collective data analysis. Considerations for implementing these methods are language, logistics and location.
