| Summary: | Abstract
This paper explores the notion of
whakapapaas providing a legitimate
research framework for engaging in research with Māori
communities. By exploring the tradition and meaning of
whakapapa, the paper will legitimate how
whakapapaand an understanding of
whakapapacan be used by Māori researchers
working among Māori communities. Therefore, emphasis is
placed on a research methodology framed by
whakapapathat not only authenticates Māori
epistemology in comparison with Western traditions, but
that also supports the notion of a
whakapaparesearch methodology being
transplanted across the Indigenous world; Indigenous
peoples researching among their Indigenous communities.
Consequently, Indigenous identity is strengthened as is the
contribution of the concept of
whakapapato Indigenous research paradigms
worldwide.
