6 An Indigenous Māori Perspective of Rangatahi Personhood
Get accessDr. Adreanne Ormond is Indigenous Māori from the Nation of Rongomaiwāhine where she was raised on ancestral land within her Māori community. Her Māori community continues their generational guardianship as active and resident kaitiaki. The personal segues into the professional so that she is able to utilize some of her experience and passion for Indigenous worldviews within the Faculty of Education at Victoria University of Wellington where she is a senior lecturer. In this role she teaches, supervises, and researches across the politics of indigeneity exploring Māori knowledge systems, issues of culture and race, and methodologies of decolonization and transformation. This scholarly activity is undertaken with the aim to support and enhance the political, economic, and social autonomy of the Māori.
Professor Joanna Kidman (Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Toa Rangatira) is Professor of Māori Education at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. She has worked extensively in Māori communities across Aotearoa New Zealand and with indigenous Seediq communities in mountain village schools in Taiwan where ancestral knowledge and languages have been incorporated into curricula. Her current research focuses on Māori tribal memories of colonial violence in Aotearoa and Indigenous survivance.

Abstract
Personhood is complex and characterized by what Avery Gordon describes as an abundant contradictory subjectivity, apportioned by power, race, class, and gender and suspended in temporal and spatial dimensions of the forgotten past, fragmented present, and possible and impossible imagination of the future. Drawing on Gordon’s interpretation, we explore how personhood for young Māori from the nation of Rongomaiwāhine of Aotearoa New Zealand is shaped by a subjectivity informed by a Māori ontological relationality. This discussion is based on research conducted in the Māori community by Māori researchers. They used cultural ontology to engage with the sociohistorical realities of Māori cultural providence and poverty, and colonial oppression and Indigenous resilience. From these complex and multiple realities this essay will explore how young Māori render meaning from their ancestral landscape, community, and the wider world in ways that shape their particular personhood.
