As Maori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand, take back responsibility and control over the provision of education for Maori, efforts are entering an exciting phase. The empowering potential of recent community initiatives, in conjunction with the re-emergence of tribal and urban Maori authorities, have established an infrastructure well positioned to facilitate progressive educational provision for Maori. Once formal education is conceived of as an empowering rather than a subordinating process, an important barrier to success will be overcome. Central to that conception is the promotion of the Maori language as a medium of instruction, together with issues of control, negotiation and a continued expansion of Maori models of teaching and learning. A greater adaptation of generic (western) models towards appropriate accommodation of the educational needs of Maori learners is a further dimension. The initiatives taken by one tribal authority are examined against the role taken by similar authorities in educational planning and provision. Language revitalisation is seen to be integral to a strong cultural identity and enhanced well-being.
