Ngā Maia ō Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu (2002-2008)
- Evaluation of pilot wananga for Māori midwives and birthing whānau WHAKAKAOHOOHO I TE MAURI, 2006
- HE RAUTAKI RANGAHAU (2004) is a 10 year strategic research plan that was developed through focus groups and wānanga. This document consolidates discussions about research themes and directions that would prepare, and enable, a national collective of Māori midwives and birthing whānau to embrace the challenges of Te Aronui.
- MMPO OUTCOMES FOR MĀORI MOTHERS AND BABIES (2005). This document describes the birthing outcomes of Māori māmā and babies who registered with an MMPO midwife during 2005. Access to the data was negotiated as part of a joint venture agreement that was signed between the New Zealand College of Midwives (NZCOM) and Ngā Maia in 2009. This was the first time Māori data had been extracted from the MMPO database and Ngā Maia had hoped this would be the inaugural annual report. NZCOM did not want Māori data to be reported separately from their main report and felt too many themes had been analysed. The report was never published.
