Indigenising 'Research' and Reconnecting Knowledge to Place - Indigenous Compositions, Songs, and Chants as Research Methods
The decolonisation and Indigenisation of research have been central to ongoing debates among Indigenous scholars, as they seek to reclaim knowledge systems disrupted by colonisation. In Aotearoa (New Zealand), Māori methodologies grounded in ancestral knowledge systems challenge Western paradigms and emphasise a connection between knowledge, place, and identity. Storytelling, in its many forms-including chants, songs, and other 'artistic' composi…
The use of digital technology in the preservation of Māori song
