The term “rangahau” is currently used in Aotearoa New Zealand by many organisations and individuals to describe research undertaken by Māori or with a Māori focus. Royal (2004) has drawn our attention to the traditional linguistic use of the word “rangahau” to mean “seeking”, “questing” and “will to find”. Through examination of traditional literature, “rangahau” is likened to a quality found within the inquiring mind and questing spirit (Royal, 2004, p. 2).
