The indigenous New Zealand population, M{\={a}}ori, are disadvantaged across many health domains including the socioeconomic determinants of health. The Treaty of Waitangi, considered New Zealand{\textquoteright}s founding document, outlines M{\={a}}ori autonomy and leadership, and can be applied to a model of health equity. Leadership frameworks in this sense must incorporate ethical and servant leadership styles across a shared, distributive leadership model to develop safe and equitable health environments where Indigenous ways of being and knowing are not subjugated. This is a shift from traditional hierarchical paradigms of the past and acknowledges M{\={a}}ori as having the autonomy to lead and maintain equitable health outcomes.}, URL = {https://bmjleader.bmj.com/content/5/2/83}, eprint = {https://bmjleader.bmj.com/content/5/2/83.full.pdf}, journal = {BMJ Leader} }
