Indigeneity and Me

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present my views on the notion of indigeneity, I will undertake this journey utilising the writing technique of self-interview (Dicky, 1984) and reflective writing to philosophically discuss my own definition of indigeneity whereas I will ask myself questions and reflectively respond to these, exploring similarities and differences within relevant literature aligned with the notion of indigeneity and examining my observations in practice regarding the term indigeneity concluding with an exploration of the relevance of my positioning in an Aotearoa New Zealand context and how this classifies my practice as indigenous.
