International Encyclopedia of Education (Fourth Edition) - “The mis-education” of Aotearoa: the struggle for Indigenous history in New Zealand

Elsevier,

International Encyclopedia of Education (Fourth Edition), 2023, Pages 1-6

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.
