The article by Lily George explores the challenges of decolonising anthropology in Aotearoa New Zealand. It reflects on the history of mistrust between Māori communities and anthropologists, especially since the 1980s. George highlights how the term “research” often carries painful and distrustful associations for indigenous peoples. She shares her own experiences of being questioned as both an anthropologist and an indigenous academic. Ultimately, the article argues that anthropology must confront its silences and engage more deeply to build meaningful relationships with Māori and other indigenous communities.
