ABSTRACT Colonisation has deeply harmed Maori communities, seriously and consistently undermining their vitality, aspirations and potentials, particularly since the 1860s, at inestimable cost to the entire nation. The British arrival in Aotearoa commenced a relationship between two very different peoples that has profoundly influenced their distinct and collective fortunes ever since. Despite manifest breaches of te Tiriti o Waitangi, this relationship has centred settler interests ensuring that Maori sovereignty has been displaced in favour of colonial hegemony, entrenching longstanding, preventable inequities in health and other important domains of social life. In this paper we trace some broad indicators of relational health and wellbeing in Aotearoa and consider how Maori thinking about whenua, health and wellbeing might lead healing opportunities for people and whenua. We outline ways in which a unified, dynamic, relational Maori concept based on whenua as the determinant of health could contribute. We believe this could expand, strengthen and revitalise prevention, protection and promotion approaches, to counter the injustices of colonisation, contribute toward health equity and move toward just, sustainable shared futures for the benefit of all New Zealanders.

Aotearoa 的殖民化、hauora 和 whenua

摘要 殖民化深深地伤害了毛利人社区，严重而持续地破坏了他们的活力、愿望和潜力，特别是自 1860 年代以来，给整个国家带来了无法估量的损失。英国人抵达奥特罗阿开启了两个截然不同的民族之间的关系，从那时起，这对他们独特的集体财富产生了深远的影响。尽管明显违反了 te Tiriti o Waitangi，但这种关系以定居者的利益为中心，确保毛利人的主权被殖民霸权取代，在健康和其他重要社会生活领域根深蒂固、可预防的不平等。在本文中，我们追溯了奥特罗阿岛相关健康和福祉的一些广泛指标，并考虑毛利人如何看待 whenua、健康和福祉可能会为人们和 whenua 带来治愈机会。我们概述了基于 whenua 作为健康决定因素的统一的、动态的、相关的毛利人概念可以做出贡献的方式。我们相信这可以扩大、加强和振兴预防、保护和促进方法，以对抗殖民化的不公正，促进健康公平，并为所有新西兰人的利益走向公正、可持续的共同未来。
