He Whakaaro mo te Aria Whanaungatanga: He Ata Rapu
Abstract
Kua āta tirohia te ariā whanaungatanga i puta mai i
ngā āhuatanga noho tahi o ngā whānau. Tekau mā
rua ngā pakeke Māori, arā, tokoono he tāne, tokoono
hoki he wahine i āta pātaitaitia mō tēnei kaupapa. Ko
ō rātou pakeke mai i te rua tekau mā tahi ake ki te ono
tekau mā whitu, ā, i ahu mai i ngā iwi huhua me ngā
momo mahi. Ko te nuinga o ēnei tāngata kei
Heretaunga e noho ana. I whakahuatia e rātou ō rātou
ake whakaaro mō tēnei mea te whanaungatanga, ka
whakahokia ngā pātai ka taka i ngā wehenga kaupapa
e rima a Durie (1994a). E ai ki āna tikanga mō te āhua
o tēnei momo mahi rangahau, he pai te anga pātaitai
hei hauhake i ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki ngā whānau o
ēnei rā.
I āta whakaarohia ngā tini take e pā ana ki te
whānau, me te whakatakoto hoki i ngā mahi rangahau
e tika ana mō ngā tau kei te heke mai, arā, ngā rangahau
e pā ana ki ngā matua moke, ki ngā kaumātua hoki,
koia rā ētahi hunga motuhake i roto i te hurihuri o te
taupori Māori.
The present study investigated the whanaungatanga
concept, with a view that whanaungatanga is manifest
through collectively beneficial behavioural interaction
among whānau members and households.
Twelve adult Māori (six of either sex) were interviewed
individually on their knowledge and experience
as members of their respective whānau. Participants'
ages ranged from 21 to 67 years, they were of
different tribal affiliations and occupations. Most participants
resided in the Hawkes Bay. Participants provided
their own definition of the whanaungatanga
concept and responded to interview questions under
five different whānau capacities previously suggested
by Durie (1994a). Using a grounded theory approach
to data analysis, the interview framework was found
to be a useful means of investigating whanaungatanga
among modern whānau. Contextual influences on
whānau interactions were considered.
