Maori, Pacific Island and Indigenous Studies

At the University of Otago's Te Temu School of Maori and Pacific Island Studies, students may learn about the history of the Maori and indigenous peoples' confrontation with European colonization and the more contemporary challenges of globalization. To complement these studies, students have the opportunity to learn about the language, culture and political struggles of New Zealand’s indigenous people.

At the University of Otago you can choose from a wide variety of subjects. We highly recommend that students take at least one course (or paper, in New Zealand) in Maori and Indigenous Studies.
