Applying Rangatiratanga in your practice | 30 May 2024

Rangatiratanga is a traditional Māori philosophy, value and practice of people exercising their independence, and determining their choices for governing themselves. Rangatiratanga has particular prominence as it is the basis of one of the Articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi (1840), the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand.  

In the context of adult education, rangatiratanga can refer to the processes of independent thinking and actions, and of being part of determining one's decisions for learning and teaching. Educators can also exercise rangatiratanga by supporting learners by mentoring and guiding them to take control of their career pathway choices.

1.  Rangatiratanga as a traditional Mᾱori philosophy
2.  Rangatiratanga as one of the Articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi (1840)
