Episode 10: Our Story - Maaori teens in Australia

Welcome to Episode 10! ‘Our Story’ is The Middle Space approach to co-creating narratives. It centres on honouring and amplifying voices, multiple worldviews and the lived experiences of those who don’t often get air time. In this episode, Hiria Cameron chats with first cousins, Matua and Aroha as they share their stories of growing up as Maaori in Queensland, Australia. They talk race, culture, stereotypes, support and strategies as Maaori teens navigating the complexities of identity development, growing up at a distance from their ancestral lands and culture.
