dc.description.abstract |
In the context of Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), is there a model to grow young Māori entrepreneurs in the Māui stories? That question is at the heart of the thesis. Fifteen Māui stories are analysed for key concepts. These are used to build upon the first part of Māui’s name to create the MĀUI Model. The argument
for basing the model on Māui’s name is that in his name are the essential elements of
Māori entrepreneurship within a Mātauranga Māori context. The word MĀ can mean
to free up from tapu (a state of the profane or sacred). The word UI is the science
involving asking, questioning and enquiry (Williams, 1985). Here then in a
Mātauranga Māori context is the investigation, the research and development. Put
together they provide some insight into the potential behaviour of the Māori
entrepreneur. That however was only part of what the thesis is about. In addition it is
also about testing the model.
The model was tested through a series of three wānanga attended by young
Māori who were enrolled on the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme. The
wānanga and observations made at them and afterwards are analysed using the model.
The research methodology was one privileging Kaupapa Māori theory. The reason
for such a stance was to support another argument in the thesis that whakataukī and
whakatauākī (proverbs where the author is unknown and known) and traditional
stories are the sites of Māori theory and models of implementation. Using a non-
Māori theory to prove the point would, I argue, undermine that very assertion.
Initial outcomes of the testing of the model through the wānanga indicate that
it is robust. It gave form to the wānanga programme and to the analysis of the
outcomes and is currently being taught in tertiary institutions. It is a model instantly
recognizable to Māori and non-Māori New Zealanders but it has potential in an
international context because Māui is an ancestor hero for many Pacific nations. |
