Description: "The model for addressing cultural diversity that is presented in this book is based on an indigenous Kaupapa Māori response to the dominant discourse within New Zealand. It promotes self-determination as guaranteed in the Treaty of Waitangi as a metaphor for power-sharing and has as its goal the advancement of educational outcomes and life opportunities for Māori children and those from other cultures." "This analysis of the aspirations and experiences of the Māori people of New Zealand will resonate with educators around the world who are attempting to develop culturally relevant pedagogies."--BOOK JACKET.
