It seeks to identify why Maori people are concerned that research should address their desire for self-determination over such research issues as initiation, benefits, representation, legitimation and accountability.
Despite Maori people being one of the most researched people in the world, there is a great deal of evidence that much research into Maori people's lives and experiences conducted by educational and other researchers has been of more benefit to the researchers than to those who have been the objects of study.
Maori definitions, research questions and approaches to fundamental epistemological questions such as `What is research?', `Who defines what constitutes research?' and `Who defines the purpose and benefits of research?' along with Maori strategies for knowledge production and definition, have been denied authenticity and legitimacy.

Pictures were used to present the twelve items and participants were asked to rate the extent to which each item was a source of waiora, or wellbeing, in their lives at present.
Among Maori, however, the concept of wellbeing was irrevocably tied to the resolution of land and sovereignty issues, balance between the physical and spiritual realms and protection of Maori identity.
In particular, the Whare Tapa Wha had symbolically linked Maori wellbeing to a house which needs four walls to stand: taha wairua (the spiritual realm), taha hinengaro (the mental realm), taha tinana (the physical realm) and taha whânau (family) (Durie, 1998).
