Kaupapa Māori research is a generic term used to describe a range of practice relating particularly to research by, with, and for Māori. The use of kaupapa Māori models and frameworks within one qualitative research project "Mātauranga Motuhake" includes a wharenui model, access to research sites by whakawhānaungatanga and an empowering consent process. A wānanga drew on the principles derived from the Treaty of Waitangi for analyses of both the process and the content of the research with examples from one case study presented here.
