While trauma is an experience that can impact on all people, Māori experience trauma in distinct ways, similarly hapu/iwi have experienced trauma in distinct ways.

These are linked to localised experiences of colonisation, racism, discrimination and subsequent unequal rates of violence, poverty and ill health.
