Whakapapa (MÄori pronunciation: [Ëfakapapa]), or genealogy, is a fundamental principle in MÄori culture. A person reciting their whakpapa, places themselves in a wider context, links themselves to land and tribal groupings and the mana of those.[1]
In order to trace oneâs whakapapa it is essential to identify the location where oneâs ancestral heritage began; you canât trace it back any further [3]. Whakapapa links all people back to the land and sea and sky and outer universe, therefore, the obligations of whanaungatanga extend to the physical world and all being in it (p. 14). [4] While some family and community health organisations may require details of whakapapa as part of client assessment, it is generally better if whakapapa is disclosed voluntarily by whanau, if they are comfortable with this.
