“…The negative comments participants offered suggested more than a frustration with a lack of information about the workshop. In line with other Indigenous groups [ 32 , 33 ], the participant who indicated a preference for a meeting in order to discover our expectations and goals for the workshop was expressing the importance of oral, face-to-face communication, which Māori term ‘kanohi ki te kanohi’. It relates not just to physical presence but to a ‘person’s credibility in words, actions, or intentions’ [ 34 ].…”

Fletcher and Mullett (2016), among others (Koh, 2013), have spoken to the particular effectiveness of digital art making in supporting the engagement and health of youth. As was the case with other digital projects-such as The Framing Safety Project, in which women who have been abused educated others through public displays of photo narratives (Frohmann, 2010)-we hoped to offer an alternative to more traditional notions of language and literacy education.…”
