Provocation

This article is written as a provocation. By re-examining the practice of discouraging children from speaking te reo Mori in schools, we challenge our students and other researchers to be alert to the ways in which Mori are often positioned in critical research. Many otherwise radical accounts that focus on Mori assimilation into a Western social order unwittingly take a coloniser-centric approach, inevitably representing Mori as passive non-agents. We ask: Whose actions and motivations are given most attention in our critiques of Mori experiences? And how are Mori positioned in our writing as a result? A Mori-centred narrative, we argue, focuses on Mori as agents, and gives attention to progressive Mori educational thought, and Mori relationality, strategy, determination and survival
