Over the next five years, Te Rōpū Rangahau Hauora a Eru Pōmare at the University of Otago, Wellington, will partner with three Māori community organisations, alongside international Indigenous collaborators in the United States, Canada and Australia, led by the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health.
Te Rōpū Rangahau Hauora a Eru Pōmare will work with Kōkiri Marae, in Lower Hutt, Toi Matarua Rangatahi Research, in Napier, and Te Hou Ora Whānau Services, in Dunedin, to promote traditional whānau models of wellbeing, nature-based recreational spaces, and cultural teachings which reflect the values of the communities involved.
