Everyday Experiences of Te Reo Māori Trauma

Everyday Experiences of Te Reo Māori Trauma builds on an earlier study by Roa and Roa (2023), which developed a preliminary research definition of te reo Māori trauma; te reo Māori trauma is the emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual harm and distress experienced by Māori individuals due to a lack of proficiency in te reo Māori. It is also a follow up to the Manawa ū ki te reo Māori report by Te Huia, Ahu, Muller, and Fox in 2019.
