Building on the success of 'Our Sacred Māori Voices' (2022) and 'Indigenous Autoethnography' (2023), this book shares Māori and Pacific voices of transformative models of practice as an inspiration for emerging Indigenous scholars, in a bid to share the untapped potential of these communities with non-indigenous readers who may hope to gain an understanding of Māori and Pacific perspectives. As academics working within the field of rangahau Māori and Pacific research, we are committed to promoting and advancing Indigenous peoples' research, methodologies and decolonial practices within Aotearoa, the Pacific, and across the globe. This book provides a unique lens into how Māori and Indigenous people culturally locate themselves as autonomous, creative, sovereign people within a personal and professional context; and showcases the strengths and uniqueness of Māori and Pacific models of work-based practice, while counterbalancing research processes, power structures and voices within work-based practice.
