Indigenous Inclusion and Indigenising the University

Abstract

‘Indigenous inclusion’ has been the most common approach to Māori engagement in university education in Aotearoa-New Zealand. Increasingly, another orientation, based on different premises, which might be called ‘indigenisation’, is becoming evident. We argue that indigenisation offers more hopeful possibilities for New Zealand universities as they/we continue to think about their/our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
