Reindigenization & Te Ao Māori
with Amelia Butler
The fundamental values and beliefs within an indigenous framework have the power to shift our thinking, connecting us in a deeper way with nature, our ancestors, our communities and ourselves. By engaging with an indigenous perspective we can decolonize from a Western colonial mindset and reindigenize our ways of thinking and being in the world. Through Te Ao Māori, the ancient Māori world, we open a doorway to re-discovering our own indigeneity and connection to nature, re-membering the parts of ourselves that we have forgotten. As we embody indigenous culture through song, dance/movement, chant, ritual, prayer/incantation and Māori cultural values & beliefs, we re-discover our connection to our own ancestry and activate the pieces of ourselves that we have disconnected from.
