Ep 136 - Dr Ihirangi Heke -

This week I am joined by Dr Ihirangi (Ihi) Heke
Ihi is an honorary research fellow to the University of Auckland and has been working with Johns Hopkins University to conduct a study using traditional indigenous health approaches alongside Systems Dynamics.
Ihi is also working with Washington University in the development of training programmes exchanging Systems Dynamics from indigenous and non-indigenous perspectives.
Over the past 10 years he has been active in helping Māori and other indigenous groups abroad, build their own health and wellness activities based on their own traditional knowledge.
His Atua-Matua Framework has been a work in progress and is attracting national and international attention from health and education policy makers and providers who are struggling to apply standard western deficit models to global health initiatives and are looking to more localised indigenous models of engagement to deal with global health issues.
