A stereotype worth discussing, a real life issue in a spiritual war to fit in with people who don't want you to be unique, when we "fit" it comes at the cost of truly belonging.What''s left, but to find ways to dull, hide, escape from a pain you didn't have a hand in creating?But still living in the consequence of?

“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!
