Thank you for this. It’s helped clarify a growing sense of unease I’d been feeling about my project. I very much wanted it to be culturally diverse and earnestly tried to go about it respectfully - sought advice on that and only went ahead with it when I had received tautoko from an elder tangata whenua. But I still made a fundamental mistake - “nothing about us without us” - and have inadvertently created a mostly pakeha space. It should have been obvious! But your article helped me see that. Even for people who don’t want to be racist, there is still a lot of learning and untangling to do.
