In Mātauranga Māori, Hirini Moko Mead explores the Māori knowledge system and explains what mātauranga Māori is. He looks at how the knowledge system operates, the branches of knowledge, and the way knowledge is recorded and given expression in te reo Māori and through daily activities and formal ceremonies. Mātuaranga Māori is a companion publication to Hirini Moko Mead’s best-selling book Tikanga Māori.
Mātauranga Māori is integrated into every activity people engage in. It touches the lives of people in whatever they do, in the way they act, in the way they think, in the way they learn and in the way their knowledge is shared with others.

"He mīharo nā te mea kei te whakanui tātou i tēnei mea te Mātauranga Māori. E whakanui nei tātou i te kaupapa. Kei te whakanui anō tātou i te tauira nei o te Mātauranga Māori, ana, ko te pakeke nei, a Tā Hirini."
"This book isn’t a rebuttal, it’s a reaffirmation of who we are and what we know. Mātauranga Māori is not a glitch in the system. It is the system. The original code. This is not just a knowledge system — it is a cultural architecture, a pā filled with ancestral voices, and a reminder that wisdom doesn’t retire; it regenerates."
"Ko te āhuatanga o te pukapuka rā, he pukapuka whakatakoto i ngā kaupapa Māori nō neherā. Ngā tikanga, ngā mātauranga nō neherā hei rama ārahi i te iwi Māori mō ngā tau kei te heke mai."
"Tā Hirini has spent nearly a century reminding us who we are. In Mātauranga Māori, he offers a blueprint for remembering, rebuilding, and reclaiming our knowledge systems."
"Kua tae mai au ki te manaaki i te ngākau, i te whakaaro nui o te pāpā nei i a Hirini Moko mō tōna pakari ki te whakatakoto i ōna whakaaro e pā ana ki te Mātauranga Māori hei taonga, hei takapau mō te reanga onāianei, haere ake nei."
