Abstract

In 2019, Byron Rangiwai group-supervised the master’s work of ten Master of Applied Indigenous Knowledge students at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, Māngere. Drawing upon the supervision experiences of Byron and his students—the Reverend Mahaki Albert (Māori), Tania Bell (Māori), William Cuthers (Cook Islands Māori/Māori), Fritz Filisi (Samoan), Vania Hotereni (Māori), Celia Lambert (Māori), Rosalie Leuluai (Māori), Latoia Sasa-Tepania (Samoan/Māori), Daena Walker (Māori) and Abann Yor (Sudanese)—this paper will present a novel model of Māori and Indigenous research supervision called He Raranga Tangata. The name of the model—He Raranga Tangata—was gifted by the Reverend Mahaki Albert and refers to the weaving together of people. First, we give a brief overview of the Master of Applied Indigenous Knowledge programme. Second, we identify a gap in the literature with regard to Māori supervision of Māori and Indigenous master’s students. Third, we briefly discuss our experiences as supervisor and students. Fourth, we present our He Raranga Tangata model for Māori and Indigenous master’s research supervision.
