Summary: This thesis explores the role of mana wahine in the development of Te Whare Rokiroki Maori Women's Refuge in New Zealand/Aotearoa. (Mana wahine is a theory and ideological framework centred on Maori world views and ways of knowing.) The thesis describes the meaning of Maori development in a Refuge environment; It investigates the expression of mana wahine by Maori women Refuge advocates, and it also identifies the extent to which mana wahine has influenced decolonisation. The research approach includes a kaupapa Maori epistemology (theory of knowledge), mana wahine and qualitative research methods. The author concludes that a mana wahine perspective is critical to the development of the Refuge and to achieving positive, long-term change in relation both to domestic violence and wider, related issues. At a fundamental level, the means through which development and change is achieved is Maori culture, tikanga and te reo.
