In this general issue, MAI Journal Volume 14, Issue 2 presents a rich and diverse collection of Indigenous scholarship that speaks to the lived realities, aspirations, and innovations of Māori and Pacific communities. This issue features 12 articles and two commentaries that explore themes of wellbeing, education, housing, health, and systemic transformation—from whatu pedagogy and teenage māmā Māori experiences, to rangatahi-led insights on racial bias and Indigenous governance of freshwater. The issue also includes powerful navigational guides for Māori and Pacific postgraduates in STEM, and critical reflections on policy, identity, and cultural practice.

Together, these contributions continue MAI Journal’s commitment to amplifying Indigenous voices and advancing kaupapa-driven research in Aotearoa.
