Abstract
Indigenous peoples understand time differently to Pākehā (Rangiwai, 2021a). Mahuika (2010) maintains that the notion of walking backwards into the future is a common one for Māori and other people of the Pacific. Roberts (2005) opines, “It is often said that Māori are a people who “walk backwards into the future,” [Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua] an aphorism that highlights the importance of seeking to understand the present and make informed decisions about the future through reference to the past” (p. 8).
