Abstract:
In this monograph, Charles Royal calls for the development of indigenous epistemology. There are two reasons. The first concerns the level of investment that now supports institutions in Aotearoa/New Zealand which are designed to uplift and advance mātauranga Māori. Given this level of investment it is prudent to explore and understand the nature of this knowledge being imparted and created. An epistemological approach will assist by building bridges between cultural revitalisation and cultural creativity.
