    Decolonising in Aotearoa

    Release Date: 11/30/2021

    Authors: Decolonising in Aotearoa

    Description: Decolonising in Aotearoa is a Kaupapa Māori podcast that focusses on promoting kōrero and whakaaro about the process of decolonisation for ngā tāngata katoa. Decolonising in Aotearoa is hosted by Paaka Edwards and is written and produced by Wetere Paki. In each new episode, Paaka hosts a new manuwhiri who bring with them a specific pūkenga or set of skills. Together, Paaka and the manuwhiri wānanga about the process of decolonisation in relation to their own experiences as tāngata Māori, and how this process is applied by the manuwhiri in the practice of their pūkenga. The name, ‘Decolonising in Aotearoa’ was chosen specifically as it speaks about the process of decolonisation in the present tense. This is to remind us as tāngata that decolonisation is an on-going process, as it sits in response to colonisation, which exists in both the external environment around us, and internally, in our own minds.
