“…Agnew et al (2004) highlight the limitations of using traditional Pacific models, as they tend to privilege Pacific Island-born and adult perspectives, and do not address the increasing number of young Pacific people identifying with two or more Pacific ethnic groups (HRC, 2014;MPP, 2018;Naepi, 2015). For genuine research to happen, it is imperative that a relational connection between the Pacific researcher and the Pacific methodology exists, to promote best data usage, interpretation, analysis, presentation, and purpose (H. Smith & Wolfgramm-Foliaki, 2021). Some of these unique and innovative models have been outlined in Supplementary Table 4.…”

Despite a growing amount of research with Māori and Pacific people in Aotearoa New Zealand, frameworks that support robust research methodologies with these peoples are limited. This is particularly so for research involving both Māori and Pacific people, which acknowledges the connections between the two and the uniqueness of all Pacific people. Tangata Hourua (Strength in Combining) is a research framework developed in response to this gap, drawing from Kaupapa Māori (Māori principles) and Pacific methodologies, that seeks to uphold the rights of Māori as Indigenous people of Aotearoa, whilst giving voice to Pacific peoples living here with shared or connected whakapapa (family connections). This article describes the framework’s origins, its relationship to Kaupapa Māori and Pacific research methodologies, key principles in its application, and its strengths and limitations. The framework has the potential to be utilised in research that positively contributes to both Māori and Pacific knowledge and well-being.

“…Reciprocating and respecting our interrelational and interdependent connections with our communities, one another, and other entities in the world, is an appreciative practice. Certain Pacific concepts are used to (re)present relationality, including va (Samoa), vā (Tokelau, Tonga), vahaloto (Niue), veiyaloni (Fiji), and wā (Hawaiʻi, Māori) (Togiatama-Otto 2015; Fa'avae 2018; Aporosa and Fa'avae 2021;Smith and Wolfgramm-Foliaki 2021). Pacific scholars affirm the centrality of Indigenous relationality when unpacking the interconnections between knowledge, world views, people and practices (Wendt 1982;Māhina 2010).…”

“…Despite the understanding that Māori and Moana-Pacific-Pasifika people share ancestral connections in Te Moananui-a-Kiwa, there are very few opportunities to work together in relation to decolonial work in Aotearoa-New Zealand. 62 The opportunities to work together differ across institutional places and spaces. In Kirikiriroa Hamilton, Pacific and Indigenous Studies as a disciplinary field is positioned within the Faculty of Māori and Indigenous Studies (FMIS).…”

Indigenous Pacific knowledges embody creative modes of expression and sensibilities as meaning–making. Academia, as a Western-oriented institution, however, privileges intellectualisations that favour abstract critical thinking through more objective lenses. As Moana–Pacific–Pasifika researchers, being creatively critical in higher education begins from our Indigenous concepts and creative practices such as poetry. Talanoa mālie provides a worldview of being–knowing–seeing–doing that we inhabit as Tongans within higher education beyond the boundaries of our ancestral fonua or whenua. Our critical autoethnographic reflections as early career academics are woven through and positioned within our wider talatalanoa, which ultimately seeks to defy, disrupt, and deconstruct dominant Western academic tools and practices within the university context in Aotearoa–New Zealand.
