This chapter aligns with UN SDG 4 and 10 and the Māori’s continuous struggle to teach and center their own history despite having their pasts displaced in the education system by British history which dismissed local Indigenous pasts as unreliable myths and “pre-history.” Māori have resisted this “mis-education” for more than a century, fighting to reclaim the past on their own terms. This essay reflects on the enduring struggle that eventually led to the reset, and ongoing skepticism, of the National History curriculum in Aotearoa for all schools from 2023.

This chapter advances UNSDG 4 and 10 addressing Indigenous communities' efforts for self-determination and the recovery, restoration, revitalization, and renewal of their languages. This chapter is authored by Indigenous scholar-practitioners from distinct Indigenous communities - Hawaiʻi, Kanien'keha:ka, Lytton First Nation, Isthmus Zapotec – who share their perspectives and lived-experiences of community-centered language work in the areas of intergenerational knowledge relations, curriculum, and media and technology.
