A personal reflection koha, and how ako and communication strategies support the practice of Pacific research models and frameworks at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa
Get PDFTe Wānanga o Aotearoa is first and foremost a uniquely Māori learning environment, as a Pasifika educator who feels privileged in this space, it has become prominent to me more than ever to understand what my Pacific practice means in relation theory; and how my practice can complement our institutional values of Te Aroha, Te Whakapono, Ngā Ture and Kotahitanga. These values are embedded in our institution and communicate the actions to achieve successful outcomes for our tauira (Te Wananga o Aotearoa, n.d)

Hands and feet: A reflection on Polynesian navigation—a Niue Fakafifine community practitioner perspective in Aotearoa-New Zealand
Get PDFAs a community navigator, my practice draws from skills, knowledge and principles of Polynesian navigation such as wayfinding . In this essay, I will provide personal experiences that have influenced and nurtured me in my development as a community navigator. I will discuss four influences of Polynesian practices: dance, weaving, storytelling and navigation. These are concepts that I draw from to support people who experience hardship in life and are intrinsically connected and complementary of one another when applied in my practice
A New Way of Life
Get PDFToday was the day, I had waited all week for this moment but now that it’s here my nerves are in overdrive. Just last week Dad travelled to Masterton without me and Mum, to make contact with his biological mother. It must have gone well because now we’re all headed off to meet the rest of Dad’s family.

Get PDFTāwhirimātea appeared to me in the backseat of a bus that shuddered and groaned as it passed through Matatā and headed north of Whakatāne. He moved between the aisle of patched chairs with no sound. His hair cascading down his shoulders in thick waves, unruly and twisting like turbulent winds. His skin was golden-brown and weathered from some unspeakable storm, but his eyes appeared like clouds. Shades of grey and white. No one else paid him any mind, but the air around me felt suddenly choked. Pressurized and barely contained. When he spoke his voice was soft as an autumn breeze, whispered and chilly
The impacts of COVID-19 on the 2020 cohort of the Master of Applied Indigenous Knowledge programme at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa in Māngere
Get PDFCOVID-19 is a significant challenge to education and learning (Crawford, et al., 2020; Daniel, 2020; Händel et al., 2020; Naciri et al., 2020; Toquero, 2020; Usak et al., 2020). COVID-19 caused face-to-face learning to become a threat to health (Murphy, 2020) which has meant that learning around the world moved online very rapidly (Alawamleh, 2020; Daniel, 2020; Händel et al., 2020; Sandars et al., 2020) on an untried and unparalleled scale (Burgess & Sievertsen, 2020). Because of the extraordinary conditions that education is experiencing globally, institutions must document the effects of the COVID-19 on the delivery of education (Toquero, 2020) to ensure that it is as effective as possible (Sahu, 2020). The purpose of this article is to document some of the COVID-19 challenges and experiences of the 2020 Master of Applied Indigenous Knowledge cohort

Get PDFMy name is Gabriella Campbell and I am a white Māori. Growing up, this is what I heard from my classmates and teachers. The way I acted, behaved or dressed most likely convinced most of them I was white. I mean seriously, just because my skin is a shade lighter than the ‘real’ Māori kids, doesn’t mean I can’t be one of them. In fact, I was probably one of the few Māori kids at my school, which was located right in the middle of other high decile schools around Auckland. St Helinbergs was where it began
Hidden
Get PDFSoft luscious lips, honey soft brown eyes, a beautiful lavender aroma that you can smell even from a mile away; her soft alluring curls bouncing off her shoulders as she strides to the front of the church. Am tempted to walk to the front to kiss her, claiming her as mine, but I know better than to do that. My heart beats rapidly as I watch her laugh. Her laughter is a sweet melody to my ears; a beautiful song I could never get enough off like a hymn I need in my life. I remove my gaze from her as I try to pull myself together before I do something that I will regret. How can those boys make her laugh like that when I couldn’t even make her smile at me
The Hidden Scar
