Te Ipu Whakahauā
Te Ipu refers to the bowl that one can draw sustenance from or provide sustenance to.
Whakahauā refers to the wind that emerges to form the awhiowhio (whirlwind) which travels both ways, up and down.
The key to this name Te Ipu Whakahauā is reciprocation between Papatūānuku (Earth Mother) and Ranginui (the Sky Father).

Turbott, J. (1997). Who should do cross-cultural research? Aust NZ Psychiatry Journal, .
Abstract: Allen and Read's paper provides a healthy perspective on integrated mental health care (IMHC). Based on the opinions of some of the practitioners surveyed, they question the usefulness of this approach with Māori populations and go further to say 'As Pakeha (defined in the paper as non-Māori and/or European) researchers, we are not qualified to judge the appropriateness of IMHC for Māori.

Klinck, J., Cardinal, C., Edwards, K., Gibson, N., Bisanz, J., & Da Costa, J. (2005). Mentoring Programs For Aboriginal Youth.109–130 pp.
Abstract: In this study we explore and compare concepts of mentoring from both mainstream and Aboriginal perspectives. Our objective was to identify factors that could influence the development of an Aboriginal specific mentoring program in a mainstream national program. Key factors for Aboriginal mentoring programs were determined through interview and focus group discussions about program successes and challenges in local communities. It was determined that successful mentoring programs should be developed in collaboration with community members from the outset and built on existing strengths and programs within the community. Successful Aboriginal mentoring programs must also include the mentee’s family, traditional values and culture, and adequate resources for sustainability. Formation of a community advisory group for guidance and support is essential for success and sustainability, especially for programs involving outside organizations.

Letendre, A., Caine, V. (2004). Shifting from Reading to Questioning: Some Thoughts around Ethics, Research, and Aboriginal Peoples. Pimatisiwin: A Journal of Aboriginal and Indigenous Community Health, 2(2), 1–31.
Abstract: During the summer of 2002, we worked on a project exploring issues surrounding ethics and research with Aboriginal people. As we reviewed a number of articles published in this area, our library and Internet searches were accompanied by multiple conversations. Within these conversations we often wondered about the written words, words primarily written by academics, rather than community members. In the written documents, many authors identify some of the complexities and ethical issues that are equally exciting, frustrating and engaging. Overall, however, there is a dearth of published and readily accessible discourse on ethics in the context of research and Indigenous communities, perhaps reflecting the early stage of critically contemplating the ethical implications of research within Aboriginal communities.
During the fall of 2002 we took the class From Written Text to Oral Tradition at the University of Alberta with Dr. Stan Wilson. Throughout the course we often thought about our ethics project and began to recognize the origin of our struggles with the project. We returned to our past conversations and writings with new insights, we wondered about ethical guidelines and are no longer certain they provide us with answers or appropriate frame-works for ethical research. We began to ask: What do Aboriginal communities perceive to be respectful research? How do they envision the research process to be unfolding? How do they conceptualize possibilities of engagement with researchers? How do we honour oral traditions? How could we honour who people are, and who they are becoming? Although we still do not have answers to many of these questions, this paper is the beginning process of reviewing some of the relevant literature, and of expressing our own views and questions about research, relationships, and possibilities.

Lapsley, H. (2003). Disability and Employment: Where is Government Policy Heading? Mental Health Commission, , 4 pp.
Abstract: Introduction
The Mental Health Commission believes it’s timely to take a look at what’s going on in the world of disability and employment policy and how that is likely to impact on people with ongoing mental health problems. This paper doesn’t aim to be an in-depth critique of disability and employment policy. Rather, it is an exploration of trends and new developments.
