Te Rōpū o Te Whānau Rangimarie o Tāmaki Makaurau : a Māori model for non-violence A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in Psychology (MA), university of Auckland, Gilgen, Maynard E. - 1991 - 134 leaves
Thesis (MA - Psychology) - University of Auckland. This thesis provides a descriptive account and culturally appropriate evaluation of Te Rōpū o Te Whānau Rangimarie o Tāmaki Makaurau (TWR) or People for Peace in the Auckland Region, a model and programme promoting non-violence for Māori. TWR has its roots in the 1980s when Haare Te Wehi began working with Māori men who were violent towards their partners, children and associates. By adapting techniques used by Pākehā men's groups for use in a Māori context, TWR soon evolved into a group in which men and women worked together, thus supporting the concept of whānau. The evaluation context is provided by a discussion of Māori cosmology, traditional conflict resolution processes, the impact of colonisation on Māori society, and the development of non-violence programmes internationally. A kaupapa Māori qualitative research approach was is taken. The author was involved with TWR as a participant-observer and conducted open-ended interviews with 10 TWR kaimahi (facilitator/counsellors), both men and women, and reviewed archival material. Most importance was placed on the first two sources. Findings indicate that western-based non-violence programmes do not adequately meet the needs of Māori. The author argues that TWR provides a successful model and recommends that resources and assistance be provided for future development. The author concludes that the only way for Māori violence to be confronted is for Māori to take responsibility for the design, development and implementation of Māori-based programmes.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
