Faculty of Maori and Indigenous Studies

Welcome to the Faculty of Māori and Indigenous Studies, located in the vibrant city of Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand. We are an esteemed establishment and a point of interest for those passionate about indigenous cultures and sustainable development.

At our institution, we pride ourselves on representing both innovation and tradition in teaching and research. With a global focus on sustainable development and indigenous issues, we strive to equip our students with the knowledge and skills to advance indigenous peoples through our teachings, research, and expertise.

Our curriculum covers subjects of strategic importance in the advancement of Māori, Pacific, and other indigenous peoples. In addition to our research and practice, we place a strong emphasis on sustainable development and the revitalization of the Māori language in our teaching.

Our staff consists of leading researchers in Māori and Pacific Development, indigenous studies, and culture and language revitalization. Through their expertise, we provide national and international leadership in Māori, Pacific, and indigenous issues, as well as sustainable development.

Our institution is actively involved in various research projects and publications that contribute to the advancement of indigenous knowledge and sustainable practices. Our renowned Te Ratonga Whakamāori and Te Kōtihitihi Journal are examples of our commitment to promoting and sharing indigenous research and perspectives.

We are also proud to host events that foster awareness and dialogue on indigenous trade, such as the upcoming Te Kāhui a Kiwa conference. This gathering brings together indigenous and international speakers to share their knowledge and expertise.

In our dedication to improving health outcomes for Māori and Pacific communities, we have prioritized these populations in accessing game-changing diabetes drugs. This approach has proven to be successful in achieving better health outcomes and reducing health disparities.

Located at Ground Floor A Block, Gate 8, Hillcrest Road Hamilton, our institution provides a welcoming and inclusive environment for students, researchers, and visitors.
