The starting point of “wellness” here is the connection to Te Awa Tupua as a metaphysical (and physical) ancestral source of wellbeing which supports the descendants of Whanganui in an intrinsic and holistic way. From this position of the relevance of Te Awa Tupua, the paper goes on to investigate the literature around colonisation as a driving factor of the genderisation of tāne Māori highlighting its impact on contemporary experiences of wellbeing for tāne Māori. The paper concludes by highlighting existing gaps in research around tāne Māori wellness, and suggests the utilisation of Iwi-specific methodologies, such as Te Awa Tupua, to re- contextualize and capture the experiences of Māori wellness. The paper thereby builds a picture of the current reality, and the opportunities for change, in utilising Mātauranga Māori to investigate gaps in the literature of improving tāne Māori wellbeing.
