dc.description.abstractAs the world incorporates technology and the internet, new developments provide challenges and opportunities for Māori engaging in these spaces. By developing and applying īWhakaaro (Kaupapa Māori Internet Theories) and īRanghau (Kaupapa Māori cyber ethnography) this research explores the overall question: what are the implications of Māori engaging online for tikanga Māori? And explores, how are tikanga Māori (Māori values, customs and protocols) maintained or transgressed through the use of the internet by Māori? Ipurangi, this research thesis, is framed around the cosmo-genealogical narrative of Tāwhaki who ascends through the heavens to obtain new knowledge. Just like the journey of Tāwhaki, Māori engaging online are presented with opportunities for great potential as well as obstacles that pose a threat to tikanga Māori. A new theoretical approach, īWhakaaro and a new methodological approach īRangahau, was used to analyse literature and identify themes that emerged from interviews with expert Māori who lead the use of the internet and apply tikanga Māori. eColonialism and Kaupapa Māori theory are applied to analyse how colonisation takes place online, and to develop a new theoretical position - īTāmi. This research makes three major contributions to research: first, a new lexicon for Māori engaging in the online space; second, new theoretical and methodological approaches for Kaupapa Māori research; and third, ipuRangi - a framework to guide Māori engagement with the internet.

thesis.description.doctoral-citation-abridgedElectronic colonialism (eColonialism) means the internet has implications for tikanga Māori. Discussion with Māori leaders in the internet space, found both opportunities and challenges for Māori engaging online. Ms Warren developed Kaupapa Māori approaches for research in the online space, the creation of a new lexicon and the ipuRangi framework as a method to mitigate eColonialism.
thesis.description.doctoral-citation-longWith the rapid worldwide use of the internet, Māori face ongoing threats of electronic colonialism (eColonialism). An examination of the implications for tikanga Māori when engaging online, found that the internet presents both opportunities and challenges. Drawing on qualitative data from interviews with cultural leaders engaged online, the study makes three contributions to research: the development of a new lexicon for Māori in the online space; a novel approach to kaupapa Māori theory and methodology; and ipuRangi – a framework to both guide Māori engagement with the internet, and as a method to consciously and critically mitigate the impacts of eColonialism.
