Colonisation is at its worst when it’s internalised, when it’s your own personal oppression that digs its claws in deep, and makes us view our own people with disdain. We become the thing we are supposed to fight against, it’s when Moko turns to “scribbles” and self hatred rules.

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!
