Ideas surrounding treaty principles (pulls and pushes)
- Reconcile differences between tests
- Easily understood
- Focus on finding middle ground and moving forward rather than deliberating over differences
- Maori didn’t sign the principles
- Oversimplification
- Ignores the past
Why does discourse around the treaty matter so much
Words shape our understanding which shapes our actions
Western dominance in psychology
The field started with German and north American influence, making indigenous perspectives invisible and seen as invalid
What was levy claim in response to and what did she address
Responded to western dominance and alleged the crown breached the treraty by not meeting maori needs
Crown failures in psychology training (Levy)
- Minimal Maori content
- Tokenistic inclusion
- Lack of Maori academics and mentors
- Lack of cultural competency
- Lack of integration of Kaupapa Maori
- Systemic racism and barriers
Crown failures in Ethical and Legal areas (Levy)
- Insufficient distribution of funding
- Lack of cultural competency
- Insufficient enforcement of Te TIriti obligations
- Insufficient fusion of Maori and Western methods

- Maori underrepresented as practitioners AND overrepresented as service leaders
- Psychology governance has limited Maori leadrship
Levy solutions to restore psychology workforce

Waitoki et al. replication study (2023)
Survey (through interview and hui) staff etc in different sub-disciplines
Abbot and Durie (1987)
Looked at monocultural dominance in psychology. Found no Maori staff/Maori on advisory bodies, and limited inclusion of Maori course content
Waitoki et al. replication study (2023) findings
- Minimal improvement in Maori focused content (2.9% of courses)
- Slight increase in Maori staff
- Disproportionately no. of Maori in post-grad
