The research project He Whiringa Māramatanga: Kaupapa Māori Music and Healing bridges Māori music, health and intergenerational trauma healing. Funded through the Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) and supported by Tū Tama Wāhine o Taranaki (TTWOT), this research project draws on Kaupapa Māori theories and praxis to explore distinctly Māori music theories and practices as a pathway to accelerating Māori well-being by Māori authors and knowledge-holders. This article is positioned from a wahine Māori (‘Indigenous Māori woman’) of Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi, Ngāti Rangi, Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi and Ngāti Tūwharetoa with ethnic affiliations to Singapore. This project uses Kaupapa Māori methodologies, practices and methods, specifically thought-space wānanga, to gather diverse Māori to create a book. That book aims to focus on Māori talking about Māori music as well as its healing properties for Māori. Māori music forms have long served in the realm of communal healing, well-being, hauora Māori (‘Māori health’) and collective history-making as well as memory. This article discusses Kaupapa Māori theory and praxis, the ethical considerations of the book project and thought-space wānanga as methods of Māori community-building for Māori music and healing.
