DR MARISE KEREHI STUART leaves for Harvard “I am very passionate about using matauranga Māori to heal mental health trauma, and promote mauri ora. I believe our health systems’ significantly lack recognition for matauranga, and undermines mauri ora for a lot of our people,” prestigious Fulbright Award winner Dr Marise Kerehi Stuart said.

Marise leaves this month to commence the Masters of Medical Science in Global Health Delivery programme at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. Marise Kerehi Stuart (Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa; Ngāpuhi) is the daughter of Maryanne Kerehi Stuart and Alan Stuart, and mokopuna of the late Tutahanga Otekai Arahi Ngatuere, and Phoebe Te Koneke Ngatuere (Ruhe). Marise states that the Harvard course would enable her to design, implement and evaluate innovative Kaupapa Māori health programmes in order to promote greater Kaupapa Māori programme funding and implementation.
“I want to demonstrate how we can use traditional kaupapa Māori practices, such as wairuatanga, karakia, rongoa, for whānau ora, and ensure that this is available to whānau when they need it. As Māori we have the right to use our own hauora (wellbeing) practices, and it is important that the benefits of these practices are explicitly realised and supported,” she said.
