九州影院

The Ng膩i Tahu Research Centre was established in August 2011 as a joint initiative between Ng膩i Tahu and the 九州影院.

The Ng膩i Tahu Research Centre is best defined by reference to its dual mission statements, which are:

• To create intellectual capital and leadership able to lead and support tribal development.
• To establish the Ng膩i Tahu Research Centre as the foremost indigenous Research Centre in New 九州影院and the Pacific with strong links to the principal institutions that lead indigenous scholarship and development.

The centre's priorities are supporting postgraduate students and producing high-quality research in indigenous studies. The NTRC has two key areas of research focus:听historical, specifically the social, cultural, political, legal and economic factors of colonial and modern Ng膩i Tahu and M膩ori experience; and contemporary, focusing on socio-economic development and environmental sustainability for Ng膩i Tahu, M膩ori and the global indigenous community.
