Marae ā-kura: Tracing the birth of marae in schools

Abstract

Marae a-kura (school marae) have been part of the New Zealand educational landscape for nearly 30 years. Marae a-kura began amidst the wider kaupapa of cultural regeneration; they are also a response to state school policies of assimilation, integration and Taha Maori. Marae a-kura represent the aspirations of Maori as well as the Government's aspirations for Maori. This article considers two strands in the whakapapa of marae a-kura: a Maori-led initiative to revitalise Maori language and culture in schools; and the Government's selective inclusion of Maori culture in the curriculum. Marae a-kura provide a context to not only teach Maori, but to learn as Maori.
