Older M āori understandings of alcohol use in Aotearoa/New Zealand

The predominant framing of indigenous people ’s alcohol use as problematic has resulted in narrow understandings of indigenous alcohol use in general. In particular, there has been little exploration of how Māori, those indigenous to Aotearoa/New Zealand, contextualise and understand their alcohol use. To build on current understandings of Māori alcohol use, this study explored the broader and socially shared meanings of alcohol use from the perspectives of older Māori.
