This Aropū paper, part of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga’s Te Arotahi policy paper series, is a short impact brief summarising the main insights from Te Ahunga atu ki ngā Ōhanga Oranga Māori: Towards Māori Wellbeing Economies, a book by Professor Chellie Spiller and colleagues (Spiller, 2025). Their research examines whānau-centred approaches to inclusive and sustainable prosperity. These findings foreground Māori wellbeing economies that are place-based, whakapapa-anchored, and oriented to intergenerational wellbeing.
