A critical Indigenist approach to ethnic migrant health research: The application of an African philosophy
This article presents the conceptualisation and application of a critical Indigenist methodology founded in Ubuntu (an African philosophy). Methodologies founded in Indigenous knowingness are robust, offering a transformative approach to research and an alternative lens to understand the experiences of minoritised communities affected by the legacies of western research and continue to experience the harmful impacts of colonisation. This methodol…
Ngā manu taketake o te ao (Indigenous birds of the world): A scoping review of research focusing on Indigenous speech-language therapy for Indigenous children, using Indigenous methodologies
For Indigenous children with speech, language and communication needs, providing speech-language therapy within their worldview is of vital importance.

Positioning Neurodiversity: The Perspectives of Neurodivergent African Migrants in Aotearoa, New Zealand
Neurodiversity, a complex phenomenon acknowledging natural variations in human brain function and behaviour, is predominantly conceptualised through a Western‐centric lens.

This paper, grounded in the African philosophy of Ubuntu, investigates the social effects of neurod…

Māori and Pacific peoples in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) face significant inequities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, hospitalisations and management rates, compared with non-Māori, non-Pacific peoples. These inequities are intimately linked to factors such as colonisation and the intergenerational impacts of systemic racism. This is the protocol for Manawataki Fatu Fatu for ACCESS (Māori and Pacific hearts in unison for Achieving Card…

In New Zealand, speech-language therapists work through both the health and the education systems. In common with many Indigenous peoples, Māori have faced inequities in both health and education for decades. Kaupapa Māori education systems have been developed to support educational success and the survival of kaupapa Māori knowledge and te reo Māori. However, disparities between Māori and non-Māori still exist in the delivery of speech-language …

The Use of Interpretive Description Within Kaupapa Māori Research
Kaupapa Māori research (KMR) is an Indigenous research approach that is decolonizing and transformative. Interpretive description (ID) is a qualitative methodology used to generate knowledge relevant to the applied health disciplines. In this article, we discuss how we combined KMR and ID to investigate the experiences of Māori (the Indigenous peoples of New Zealand) with aphasia and their whānau (extended family). This is novel because it is the…
