Noho marae attendance
As part of assignment one for LIS504, students are required to complete one of these tasks:
1. Attend a noho marae (marae stay)
2. Complete an alternative learning activity
Both options involve a Mihimihi/Pepeha.
A Noho marae gives students the opportunity to build the skills and knowledge required to work effectively in a bicultural context. Students will learn more about the unique place of Māori as Tangata Whenua, as well as Māori perspectives on knowledge, ownership and use of information and an awareness of key protocols (ngā tikanga me ngā kawa) on marae and other cultural spaces.
The Noho marae occurs in week 5 of the LIS504 course, and extends over three nights and two and a half days.
We strongly recommend that students attend the noho marae. For those unable to attend, an alternative will be available within your region where a Māori practitioner will assess and work through aspects of the tikanga with each student.
Please note
Students will need to cover their own travel costs to attend noho marae. Accommodation is provided when students attend the noho marae.
