Show Notes

How does one draw on Māori spiritual concepts to translate the Christian gospel? What are the critical points of tension? Who was thinking about these questions one hundred and five years ago; who is thinking about them now? 
'Writing the New World' researcher Ammon Apiata discusses his research journey into the first and revised editions of 'Ko te Pukapuka o Moromona'. He shares his journey of: facing his fears; finding his Reo; following important footsteps and forging a pathway for future Indigenous researchers with his writing.
