This book marks the start of me actively learning about Aotearoa, our history, the issues of colonization we face today and what we can do going forward.
This was an excellent first book. I loved how it showed ways Māori are not just decolonising but reindeginising and have been for a while.
I hope This book gets taught in school!!

Essential reading for anyone who lives in New Zealand. My book is basically just one giant highlighted passage. Read it. Discuss it. Debate it. Let it challenge you. Nod along in agreement. Grow with it. Acknowledge it. Embrace it. Enact it. Just please, read it.

moana jackson's chapter alone is 5 stars
honestly this book is ur one stop shop if u want to know more about decolonising aotearoa and how we can uplift and use mātauranga māori to the benefit of the country without exploiting it. this is the beginning of my foray into researching this as a future teacher, especially bc the education system is set up to benefit a certain demographic and i want to be able to reach every student as best i can, no matter their identity or background. decolonisation benefits everyone, not just māori.

Important kōrero. The last chapter had me shook. This book should be part of school curriculum. This book should be read by every New Zealander. This book is IT!!
