Our research team is informed by, and aims to build on, the rich history of Māori innovation including more recent initiatives to digitise taonga Māori. Using Kaupapa Māori Research and

‘Taonga-Led Approach to Digitisation and a ‘Taonga-Led Approach to Ownership’ (watch this space for more information).
