This book is designed to support parents as first teachers, grandparents and teachers of Maori in Early Childhood, Kohanga Reo, Primary, Kura Kaupapa, Secondary education and Te Whare Wananga in New Zealand. The book presents some of the teachings of some expert Tohunga (priests/priestesses) in the Maori culture who, as toddlers, were taught the spiritual attributes of the Atua Wahine (divine feminine) amongst the landscapes of nature. It provides real life examples of te ao Maori knowledge that links into Papatuanuku (mother earth) and identifies some of the healing attributes of the Atua Wahine (the divine feminine). Oral forms of ancient Maori literature challenge contemporary definitions of Atua Maori (Gods and Goddesses) that have over the generations, served to subliminally poison the minds and hearts of vulnerable Maori children. Teaching children about the sustainability of the Atua wahine by nurturing our mother earth, our waters and our natural environment is vital to the survival of future generations in Aotearoa. A key implication of teachers teaching Maori, is to lead by example, cultivating a heart connection to nature that is fundamental to the healing wisdom of the Atua Maori.

The third edition of the iconic collection Making Space for Indigenous Feminism features feminist, queer and two-spirit voices from across generations and locations. Feminism has much to offer Indigenous women, and all Indigenous Peoples, in their struggles against oppression. Indigenous feminists in the first edition fought for feminism to be considered a valid and essential intellectual and activist position. The second edition animated Indigenous feminisms through real-world applications. This third edition, curated by award-wining scholar Gina Starblanket, reflects and celebrates Indigenous feminism’s intergenerational longevity through the changing landscape of anti-colonial struggle and theory. Diverse contributors examine Indigenous feminism’s ongoing relevance to contemporary contexts and debates, including queer and two-spirit approaches to decolonization, gendered and sexualized violence, storytelling and narrative, digital and land-based presence, Black and Indigenous relationalities and more. This book bridges generations of powerful Indigenous feminist thinking to demonstrate the movement’s cruciality for today.

This volume on intercultural biblical interpretation includes essays by feminist scholars from Botswana, Germany, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa, and the United States. Reading from a rich variety of socio-cultural locations, contributors present their hermeneutical frameworks for interpretation of Hebrew Bible texts, each framework grounded in the writer's journey of professional or social formation and serving as a prism or optic for feminist critical analysis. The volume hosts a lively conversation about the nature and significance of biblical interpretation in a global context, focusing on issues at the nexus of operations of power, textual ambiguity, and intersectionality. Engaged here are notions of biblical authority and postures of dissent; women's agency, discernment, rivalry, and alliance in ancient and contemporary contexts; ideological constructions of sexuality and power; interpretations related to indigeneity, racial identity, interethnic intimacy, and violence in colonial contexts; theologies of the feminine divine and feminist understandings of the sacred; convictions about interdependence and conditions of flourishing for all beings in creation; and ethics of resistance positioned over against dehumanization in political, theological, and hermeneutical praxes. Through their textual and contextual engagements, contributors articulate a broad spectrum of feminist insights into the possibilities for emancipatory visions of community.
