Māori women researching ourselves

Examines the legacy of self-determination within research fields and questions of access to knowledge within Māori worlds such as tribal trust board meetings, marae gatherings, or at the kitchen table with elders. Raises questions Māori women face in researching Māori women, their roles within the Māori world, tapu and the nature of prohibition, knowing the knowledge keepers, Matauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), and Te Reo Māori (the language). Highlights conflicting expectations when one attempts to abide by indigenous research protocols and expectations as well as those presented by the academy.
