for new history curriculum changes
A journal to help support Māori history being taught in schools has been launched.
Te Pouhere Kōrero 10, written by a collective of established Māori historians of the same name, follows the reset of the history curriculum, which is now officially implemented across all New Zealand schools for years one through to 10.
The group was first established in November 1992 during an inaugural hui at Rongopai Marae Waituhi, near Gisborne, with its focus on Māori and Indigenous history.
“The group was about creating a safe space for Māori who were into history to get together and debate, share ideas and that kind of thing,” Waipapa Taumata Rau associate professor and historian group member Dr Aroha Harris (Te Rarawa, Ngāpuhi) says.
