Matariki Reading List 2022: Kia whakahauti e ngā o Pohutakawa

15/6/2022

This Matariki I am sharing my favourite readings on decolonising the state and indigenous public management. This year the Poneketanga has been all about those for and against the bi-cultural state, while those involved in building and running indigenous public institutions have just been getting on with the mahi. It’s been a year of wahahukatanga for some, while others have been getting on with the teatoweltanga. Hopefully, these articles help those of you working in public service and anyone wanting to understand the work of decolonising the state (which is what I study), is not the same as indigenous public policy or indigenous institutions (which is what I work on).
