A Life Indigenous
27 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 months ago -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!
