Kei te huarua rawa te tere o te tupu o te taupori uri Māori i tō te taupori o Aotearoa nui tonu, ā, kotahi tangata i roto i te rima i Aotearoa e kī ana he Māori ia, e ai ki ētahi raraunga Tatauranga kua puta mai i tēnei rā.
Kei te huarua rawa te tere o te tupu o te taupori uri Māori i tō te taupori o Aotearoa nui tonu, ā, kotahi tangata i roto i te rima i Aotearoa e kī ana he Māori ia, e ai ki ētahi raraunga Tatauranga kua puta mai i tēnei rā.
E ai ki ngā raraunga Tatauranga 2023 – i whakaputaina i tēnei rā – he taupori tino tamariki iho te taupori Māori, kia whakaritea ki te taupori katoa o Aotearoa, arā, ko tōna pakeke tauwaenga kei te 27.2 tau, neke atu i te 10 tau te tamarikitanga iho i tō te pakeke tauwaenga 38.1 tau mō te taupori whānui kē atu.
Kei ngā raraunga ka kitea 19.6 ōrau - arā, 978,246 - o te taupori o Aotearoa he uri Māori, 12.5 ōrau te pikinga mai i 2018.
I piki te taupori katoa o Aotearoa mā te 6.3 ōrau i roto i taua wā anō. He nui kē atu anō te ōrau Māori o te taupori taitamariki o Aotearoa, arā, kotahi tamaiti i roto i te toru o te hunga kei raro i te 25 tau e kī ana he Māori ia.
E ai ki te Pou Ārahi/Aho Tapu o Te Kāhui Raraunga, ki a Kirikowhai Mikaere, kei ngā raraunga uri Māori kātahi anō ka puta ka tino kitea he "panonitanga taketake o te āhua o ngā tāngata o Aotearoa”.
“Ka mārama ki a tātou i roto i ngā raraunga Tatauranga 2023 Census he taitamariki tō mātou taupori Māori, he pakari, he tupu whakaritorito.
“Kei ēnei āhuatanga ka puta te whakaaro ka eke te tangata Māori hei wāhi nui o te kāhui kaimahi o Aotearoa, me te piki o te kanorau, te whakatairanga whakaaro hou, te whakahihiko i ngā ara auaha puta noa i ngā ahumahi.
“E kore e mutu te kawenga a te Māori i ngā ngākau o te tangata hei ngā tau e tū mai nei, taha hokohoko, taha ahurea, inā hoki, kua nui kē atu tō mātou ōrau o te taupori katoa o Aotearoa.”
E ai ki a Kirikōwhai hei whakaū ngā māramatanga raraunga i te hira o te haumi rawa pāpori whai painga hāngai ki a ngāi Māori.
“Ko te hōhonutanga o te kī, he haumi mō te tangata Māori, he haumi ki te mātauranga, ki te whiwhinga mahi, ki te auahatanga me te whanaketanga ōhanga. Ka riro mā tō tātou taupori taitamariki e hāpai tētahi wāhanga taketake o te ahunga whakamua me te whanaketanga o Aotearoa.
“Ka ora te katoa o Aotearoa ki te whakaritea e tātou ngā tikanga e whai rawa ai, e whai wāhanga ai a ngāi Māori kia eke ai mātou ki ngā tino taumata ka taea, kia kōkiritia hoki ngā mahi e tika ana mō tō tātou ahunga whakamua hei whenua.
“Mā te whakaputanga o ngā raraunga i tēnei rā ka mōhio, ka mārama hoki ngā iwi me ngāi Māori ki ngā mea kua roa rawa e tāria ana hei ārahi kōrero ki te Kāwanatanga, ki ngā kaiwhāngai pūtea, me ngā hoa kōtui kia mōhiotia, āe, e haere ana ngā haumitanga ki ngā wāhi e tino hiahiatia ana.
“Waihoki, mā konei ka taea e ngā iwi te āta whakatau take kia tika, tīmata mai i ngā haumitanga mō āpōpō. Hei tauira, te hora i ngā akoranga reo Māori, tae atu ki te waihanga whare me ngā hiahia tūāhanga i ō rātou whenua.”
He tohu nui tēnei i te huarahi, arā, i whakaputaina ngā māramatanga tuatahi o Tatauranga 2023 ki Te Whata – tētahi pūhara i whakawhanaketia e Te Kāhui Raraunga, te rōpū whakatinana mahi o te Rōpū Raraunga o Ngā Kaiwhautū ā-Iwi o te Motu. Kātahi anō ka whakaputaina he raraunga Tatauranga i tētahi pūhara ehara nō te Kāwanatanga.
Ka whakaputaina ngā raraunga piringa ā-iwi o Tatauranga 2023 hei te 26 Mahuru me te 31 Whiringaa-nuku ki Te Whata, e kitea ai ētahi atu raraunga puta noa i ngā tāupetanga Raraunga hōhonu kē atu – ka tātaritia, ka whakamāramatia e ngā iwi, mā ngā Iwi.
