The Development of an Indigenous Knowledge Program in a New Zealand Maori-Language Immersion School [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In 1985, Te Wharekura o Rakaumangamanga initiated a Maori-language immersion program for children ages 5 through 18. In recent years, a program based on Waikato-Tainui tribal epistemology has been incorporated into the language immersion program. This article describes the community context and the language immersion and tribal knowledge programs. We consider the relationship of these programs to individual and tribal self- determination and to theories of minority achievement, particularly the work of John Ogbu.
