Summary: Contemporary management practices in Aotearoa New Zealand have constrained river systems to support land use, which undermines the functionality, biodiversity, and socio-cultural relations with rivers. The confinement of rivers can increase flood risk and limit adaptation to climate change. Despite aligning with Maori conceptualizations of rivers and Treaty of Waitangi obligations, space-to-move interventions have yet to be implemented.

Summary: In New Zealand, the majority of cervical cancer cases occur in women who have never been screened or are under-screened, with Maori, Pacific and Asian women having the lowest rate of cervical screening. Self-sampling for human papillomavirus has been shown to increase participation in cervical cancer screening. The study found that self-sampling is acceptable and effective in detecting HPV and preventing cervical cancer in under-screened urban Maori, Pacific and Asian women in Aotearoa, with the need for a whole-of-system approach to reduce the widening gap in screening access and outcomes among different groups of women.

Summary: This study examines how a popular mainstream program, Country Calendar, conceptualizes and delivers stories about Indigenous Maori in the settler-colonial country of New Zealand, and considers to what extent these stories represent a decolonization of television narratives about rurality. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating Indigenous voices and values, the impact of structural limitations and staffing constraints on public service television's decolonizing goals, and the challenges of reconciling settler-colonialism with the program's well-established narrative.

Summary: This paper explores the perceptions of smells among European (Pakeha) settlers in New Zealand and their efforts to remake terrestrial and freshwater systems of the Waipa and Waikato Rivers. Smells played a critical role in Pakeha settlers' understandings of health and disease, influencing their actions to reshape landscapes and waterscapes. However, scholars often overlook the importance of smells when discussing environmental change and management regimes.

Summary: In 2013, the New Zealand government initiated national conversations about constitutional arrangements in Aotearoa, following Maori leadership's comprehensive engagement process and report in 2010 outlining a collective Maori vision of a written constitution congruent with te Tiriti o Waitangi by 2040. The Matike Mai Aotearoa report suggests alternative structural formations focused on governance, relational dynamics, and sovereignty to address structural racism within the health system. It emphasizes Indigenous ethical values such as protocol, belonging, and balance as key principles to inform the redesign of the health sector.

Summary: This article underscores the significant contribution of the standard story of New Zealand history and Pakeha race-talk to the social control of Maori and the naturalisation of racism. Analyzing a newspaper column by Sir Robert Jones, the study reveals how humor is used to perpetuate colonizing expectations in Aotearoa through familiar themes and resources of Pakeha race-talk. It calls for steps to displace and depower colonizing talk in order to foster a culturally just and equitable society.

Summary: Nationwide surveys in 2010 and 2015 revealed inconsistent government management of public health providers, which disadvantaged Maori providers and indicated institutional racism. A follow-up telephone survey conducted from December 2019 to March 2020 included responses from public health units, primary health organizations, Maori health providers, and non-governmental organizations. The findings showed that Maori provider experiences did not improve, and generic providers reported less favorable conditions. Qualitative data highlighted the dependence on individual managers and inconsistency across providers. Maori providers expressed frustration with contracting environments and emphasized the need for recognition as Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners, flexibility, longer contracts, and support to meet community needs. The implications of this nationwide survey are considered for the Maori Health Authority.

Social media platforms, through the use of personalized data and influencing users' emotions and desires, drive the sales and delivery of limbic products. This phenomenon has been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing regulatory frameworks are inadequate in addressing this issue.
