Definition

A model for understanding Māori health developed by Tā Mason Durie. It uses the wharenui (meeting house) as a symbol for the four cornerstones of Māori health. With its strong foundations and four equal sides, the wharenui illustrates the dimensions of taha wairua, taha hinengaro, taha tinana, and taha whānau, each one influencing and supporting the others.
