- Abstract
This paper examines and analyses Maori filmmaking in particular, dramatic feature films with reference to an indigenous global context from Linda Tuhiwai Smith's book, Decolonizing Methodologies. Linda Tuhiwai Smith's book, Decolonizing Methodologies, provides a convenient template for viewing the impact Western-minded research, historically, has had upon effecting voice and identity in Indigenous communities. Her treatment of how its methods, in a number of ways, have undermined the integrity of countless Indigenous communities, has provided her with insight about the kind of epistemological shift that will be necessary for researchers to provide meaning, balance, and sensitivity to voice within Indigenous communities. This paper is grounded in Kaupapa Maori theory, a theory that is founded in Maori epistemological and metaphysical traditions. The study focuses on visual interpretive analysis as methods to expose the layered messages and examine the Maori community in film Ngati (1987).
