This paper explores, celebrates and challenges Māori and Indigenous peoples led development. While this course traces historical dimensions of social, cultural, environmental, political and economic development, the emphasis throughout the paper is Māori and Indigenous contemporary innovation. Māori and Indigenous peoples have growing financial resources and people with knowledge, courage and skills, to self determine their future pathways. This paper traces the reclamation of self-determination by Māori and Indigenous peoples, and examines the values, aspirations and trajectories that Māori and Indigenous peoples are determining for their people, land and resources in the 21st Century. MAOR212 is an extremely useful paper for anyone interested in the contemporary state of Māori self determination.
