Heke Mātauranga Māori Diploma in Mātauranga Māori One year diploma (NZQA Level 5) Residential noho, self-directed and online learning Ōtaki campus March start date 120 credits From Ranginui the sky father to Papatūānuku the earth mother and everything in-between, enter into the realm of ‘te ao mārama’ of expanding awareness and seeing the world through Māori eyes.

Mātauranga Māori is the limitless pool of oral tradition and knowledge passed down in an unbroken line built on the foundation of whakapapa, an all compassing network of connection knitting all things together into a whole. Mātauranga Māori allowed our tupuna to understand, to explain and to interact with the natural world around them.
