“An understanding of the ways of our tupuna, coupled with the best of new thinking from New Zealand and abroad, has significant potential for sustainable housing models.”

Rebuilding the Kainga is a powerful and forward-looking examination of Maori housing, land, and self-determination. Jade Kake explores how colonisation, land alienation, and discriminatory policies have disrupted Maori connections to whenua and kainga, contributing to ongoing inequities in home ownership and housing quality.

Positioning Maori housing firmly as a Te Tiriti issue, Kake charts the revival of contemporary papakainga developments on Maori land. Drawing together ancestral knowledge and innovative design thinking, she presents a compelling vision for affordable, sustainable housing that supports whanau and hapu to live, work, and thrive on their own whenua—benefiting not only Maori communities, but Aotearoa as a whole.
