Whakapapa me te whanaungatanga | Culture and identity
-
Year 7-8: Mid-twentieth-century Māori migration to New Zealand cities occurred at an unprecedented pace and scale, disrupting the whakapapa of te reo and tikanga and depopulating papa kāinga. New approaches to being Māori and retaining iwi values and practices were created and debated. Movements to reassert Māori language, culture, and identity arose throughout the country.

What were the challenges Māori faced after the Second World War? What do hapū and iwi say about their relocation to the cities and the reasons for it? What has this meant for their identity as Māori?
