When do we get to be considered “Māori enough” and how do we stop caring about a fictional bar set by a nonexistent judge for a metric that can’t be measured?When do we get to live our indigenous experience, without having to carry the expectation’s of those who should be amongst the first to support us?Let’s decolonise our perception of ourselves, let’s stop trying and start being.

“Am I Māori enough?”

Living "a life Indigenous" is really a look at my experience of being labelled as a great many things, from School teachers, Doctors, Nun's, Priests, social workers to being told I am too Brown to be White and too White to be Brown. Managing the expectations of the colonised mind, trying hard to be something I wasn't and finally landing on the idea that "I am that I am!" Māori, Samoan, Cook Island and sooo much more, what is it that brings the children of the four winds together in history and tradition? This is MY life indigenous!
