@[toc] ## Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi In keeping with Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi (“the Treaty”) the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study recognises the unique status accorded Māori as tangata whenua (people of the land) in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Three key principles underpin the relationship between the Government and Māori under the Treaty: partnership, participation and protection. ## The NZAVS recognises these three principles and strives to uphold them in the following ways **Protection:** As a research team we are committed to respecting and protecting data gathered from all our participants and take confidentiality seriously (please see confidentiality statement here). We have a protocol for managing how data relating to Māori is prepared for publication. Any papers which focus specifically on Māori issues or data require review from our senior Māori academic advisor Associate Professor Carla Houkamau (and/or appropriate nominated reviewers). This ensures that data relating to Māori is reported in a respectful way considering the socio-political, cultural and historical context of Māori. **Participation:** Māori representation is an important part of our research and we invest in ensuring Māori representation within our samples. The NZAVS is also committed to enhancing the research capacity of Māori. We work closely with Māori collaborators to plan and implement strategies for Māori research development. Toward these goals, the NZAVS also works in partnership with our sister study, Te Rangahau o Te Tuakiri Māori me Ngā Waiaro ā-Pūtea | The Māori Identity and Financial Attitudes Study. **Partnership:** In carrying out our research we are attentive to patterns in our data which are relevant to the interests of Māori. We actively seek research opportunities for emerging Māori researchers and explore co-publication options with Māori scholars. We take a proactive role in nurturing Māori undergraduate and graduate students who indicate an interest in accessing NZAVS data for research in their own post graduate theses or dissertations. ## NZAVS Vision Mātauranga In keeping with Vision Mātauranga, we understand that Māori success is New Zealand’s success. The NZAVS is committed to upholding Vision Mātauranga as another way of strengthening our commitment to making a positive, long term contribution to New Zealand. We do this by: - Proactively seeking patterns in our data which is of interest and relevance to Māori and encouraging co-publication with Māori students and scholars. - Developing Māori research capability through supporting Māori undergraduate and postgraduate students seeking employment, research and study opportunities with the NZAVS team. - Fostering connections with Māori researchers through the Māori Identity and Financial Attitudes Study. ## Current NZAVS Māori Students and Alumni - Lara Greaves, Honors, Masters, PhD - Emerald Muriwai, Masters - Correna Matika, Honours, PhD - Logan Hamley, Honours ## NZAVS Publications by Māori students Greaves, L., Houkamau, C., & Sibley, C.
