MATAURANGA MERGES WITH SCIENCE IN NEW COURSE
A new course at Auckland University aims to show students how ancestral ways or matauranga Maori can be integrated into modern practice.
It's led by Dan Hikuroa, whose training as a geologist led him to adopt a wider earth systems approach which encompasses a range of inter-connected disciplines.
He says the way early Polynesians and Maori developed their matauranga or knowledge was consistent with the scientific method.
