Is This Course Right For You?
Puna Maumahara refers to ‘repositories of knowledge’, particularly those belonging to iwi, hapū and whānau. In this one year diploma you will be entrenched in mātauranga Māori and learn how to apply these concepts through organising and retrieving information. This includes digital archiving and preservation techniques for taonga tuku iho (our inherited treasures).
If you are seeking or currently in a role where you collect, access, store, design, implement, preserve and manage knowledge and systems you will learn a new approach based on tikanga and kaupapa Māori, opening your eyes to knowledge management through a Māori world view.
Te Reo and Iwi and Hapū Studies
Over the year, you will complete weekly tutorials and activities in Te Reo via our online space, Mūrau. These not only prepare you to attend hui rumaki reo on campus (or online); but will further enhance your puna maumahara journey as you learn the value and mana our language holds in the archive and taonga space. Yes, it can be scary, but you will not be taking the journey alone nor do you do not need to have any reo to begin! You will be guided every step of the way with tutor support.
You will also study two papers in Iwi and Hapū studies to compliment your learning, these are often the most rewarding part of study for the majority of our students as they gain a deep connection back to their roots. Your Iwi and Hapū papers will be online with excellent tutor support to help you through, week by week activities. The assignments that you complete will become a taonga and resource for your whānau, marae, iwi and will be treasured for years to come.
Te Reo and Iwi and Hapū studies begin in the first week of the academic year, so you can begin your studies before your first specialisation noho. You will also get the opportunity to meet your reo and iwi and hapū pūkenga during your first noho on campus/site or in the online space.
