Description
In this article, I argue that emancipatory possibilities for Maori, the Indigenous people of New Zealand, rely on structural changes that enable them to have control over resources, decision making, and meaning, and that emancipation is a journey traveled by oppressed groups as they exercise their collective agency. The 1990s development of Pangarau, the national mathematics curriculum policy in the medium of Maori, provides the context for this discussion. Recent developments indicate that state structures have shifted towards giving Maori more control in curriculum writing. Key words: collective agency, state structures, Indigenous curriculum development, New Zealand education, Maori education, mathematics education,
