Stepping Up: COVID-19 Checkpoints and Rangatiratanga

This book discusses the roadside checkpoints that were set up by M?ori to protect communities during the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Case studies of four different checkpoints are examined, each of which looked slightly different, but all of which were underpinned by tikanga M?ori. The checkpoints are discussed as practical expressions of whanau, hap?, iwi and M?ori rangatiratanga and indicate the ongoing existence and flourishing of rangatiratanga.
