“…Our New Zealand education system is failing Pacific peoples because of inadequate capabilities to fully understand the values and cultures of Pacific groups (Alefaio, 2008; MacIntosh, 2011; Manu’atu, 2000; Taufe’ulungaki, 2004; Tu’itahi, 2010). The successive Pasifika Education Plans designed by the MoE (MoE, 2013) through a deficit lens remains highly focused on the ‘failures’ of Pacific peoples (Penetito and Sanga, 2003, p. 23) and is overrepresented within the New Zealand statistics (Elias and Merriam, 1980; Sherrard, 1994, p. 9).…”

This article presents a transnational Moana talanoa 1 between two Pacific early childhood education scholars. Calling on both Samoan and Tongan indigenous understandings that breathe life into a Moana subjectivity is inclusive of ways of knowing, relating and becoming. We turn our attention to the importance of talanoa (stories/storying) in reconstituting olaga 2 and tangata kakato 3 in the act of decolonising Pacific 4 personhood in New Zealand early childhood education. Moana, the waters that bind Pacific peoples through genealogy, relationality and cosmogony, generate intersubjectivity; a folding of past-present-futures. It is in the spirit of Moana that we bring attention to the interconnectedness of subjects in the context of early childhood education in New Zealand. By way of movement in and with Moana, the currents, depth and flows, we problematise politics of early childhood education and professional teacher identity. Such tensions require navigation and as Hawaiian scholar Meyer said: ‘How one knows, indeed, what one prioritises with regards to this knowing, ends up being the stuffing of identity, the truth that links us to our distant cosmologies, and the essence of who we are as Oceanic peoples’ (p. 125). In thinking-Moana-intersubjectivity, we call into question how the agency and subjectivity of teacher identity can be reimagined. We share our narratives through poetry and story as a mode of expression in analysing and decolonising personhood.

“…According to Sherrard (1994), research conducted by German universities and US land grant institutions have greatly influenced the contemporary approach towards higher education in agriculture which emphasize students abilities to meet the challenges and changes of the coming decades. The changing educational policies will support increasing production and economic efnciency, but does not always take into account issues such as social equity and environmental quality.…”
