An understanding of the ways of our t?puna, coupled with the best of new thinking from New Zealand and abroad, has significant potential for sustainable housing models. Colonial settlement and the discriminatory policies of successive governments have challenged M?ori connections to whenua and k?inga. Today, home ownership rates for M?ori are well below the national average and M?ori are over-represented in the statistics of substandard housing. Rebuilding the K?inga charts the recent resurgence of contemporary papak?inga on whenua M?ori. Reframing M?ori housing as a Treaty issue, Kake envisions a future where M?ori are supported to build businesses and affordable homes on wh?nau, hap? or Treaty settlement lands. The implications of this approach, Kake writes, are transformative.
