Rawiri Hindle currently works in a Kura Māori in the Wellington region, teaching performing arts as well as running a ‘Creatives in Schools’ (on cultural responsiveness through Ngā Toi Māori) project in an English-medium school.  Rawiri has held the role of national co-ordinator for the NZ Māori-medium arts curriculum Ngā Toi Māori.  More recent projects include evaluation of Te Kotahitanga (a Māori student secondary school achievement project), evaluation of the He Kākano project, and one of 23 invited delegates to the UNESCO panel Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, meeting in China.  Rawiri Hindle’s research, practice and knowledge platforms explore the role that Māori arts education plays in deepening understandings of the intangible components of embodied knowing as it manifests as ‘being.’ His research is situated in Māori and indigenous perspectives that regards knowledge as a holistic mind, body, and soul phenomena.
