The Mātauranga Māori Files takes readers beyond the headlines to question the narratives they’ve been fed about indigenous knowledge by the mainstream media. It also examines Government funding of Māori knowledge. From the author of No Maori Allowed comes a book that can be used as a trusted source of reliable information on Mātauranga Māori from a scientific perspective. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the national debate over the place of Māori knowledge in education, health, and government policy.
· Why there is a New Zealand media bias in the coverage of Mātauranga Māori and what is driving it?
· Examines the government funding controversies involving studies of Māori knowledge research projects.
· Reveals how mainstream media outlets have navigated the debate around Indigenous knowledge and questions the adherence to traditional journalistic standards of balance and accuracy.
· Examines media coverage of claims surrounding Māori healing and evidence that Māori ancestors discovered Antarctica 1300 years ago.
· Preface by the Foundation Professor of Science Education at the University of Auckland.
Robert Bartholomew began his career as a journalist for several New York radio stations and twice served as New Director. He holds a PhD in medical sociology and is an Honorary Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychological Medicine at Auckland University. He teaches Global Studies at Mission Heights Junior College.
