Tiakina Te Pā Harakeke: Ancestral Knowledge and Tamariki Wellbeing discusses the values and successful
practices of Māori childrearing that have been maintained and encouraged within many whānau, hapū
and iwi for generations. This book is a collaboration of knowledge and insight from a wide range of
Māori researchers from all over Aotearoa and across multiple disciplines. The authors explore childrearing
approaches and models grounded in kaupapa Māori and Māori knowledge that encourage wellbeing
outcomes for children and incorporate ancestral knowledge into practices for the contemporary world.
