Abstract

Whoo aye! Being able to mihi my pipiha is a result of several years’ research beginning with choosing to attend Massey University in 2002. Until then I saw myself as a New Zealand European who happened to tan easy and have some Maori relatives. Then I had no idea my worldview would be turned upside down, yes my worldview sure has changed! But why did my worldview change?
