In Mātauranga Māori, Hirini Moko Mead explores the Māori knowledge system and explains what mātauranga Māori is. He looks at how the knowledge system operates, the branches of knowledge, and the way knowledge is recorded and given expression in te reo Māori and through daily activities and formal ceremonies.

Mātuaranga Māori is a companion publication to Hirini Moko Mead’s best-selling book Tikanga Māori.

"He mīharo nā te mea kei te whakanui tātou i tēnei mea te Mātauranga Māori. E whakanui nei tātou i te kaupapa. Kei te whakanui anō tātou i te tauira nei o te Mātauranga Māori, ana, ko te pakeke nei, a Tā Hirini."

— Amorangi Wiremu Doherty, Tumu Whakarae, Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi

"This book isn’t a rebuttal, it’s a reaffirmation of who we are and what we know. Mātauranga Māori is not a glitch in the system. It is the system. The original code. This is not just a knowledge system — it is a cultural architecture, a pā filled with ancestral voices, and a reminder that wisdom doesn’t retire; it regenerates."

— Professor Rawinia Higgins

"Ko te āhuatanga o te pukapuka rā, he pukapuka whakatakoto i ngā kaupapa Māori nō neherā. Ngā tikanga, ngā mātauranga nō neherā hei rama ārahi i te iwi Māori mō ngā tau kei te heke mai."

— Hon. Justice Tā Joe Williams

"Tā Hirini has spent nearly a century reminding us who we are. In Mātauranga Māori, he offers a blueprint for remembering, rebuilding, and reclaiming our knowledge systems."

— Hon. Justice Layne Harvey

"Kua tae mai au ki te manaaki i te ngākau, i te whakaaro nui o te pāpā nei i a Hirini Moko mō tōna pakari ki te whakatakoto i ōna whakaaro e pā ana ki te Mātauranga Māori hei taonga, hei takapau mō te reanga onāianei, haere ake nei."

— Tā Herewini Parata
