      Abstract
      This paper seeks to identify how issues of epistemological racism are addressed in practice

      within an indigenous Kaupapa (philosophy) Maori approach to research, and how such

      considerations may impact on the Western trained and positioned researcher. One fundamental

      understanding to a Kaupapa Maori approach to research is that it is the discursive practice

      that is Kaupapa Maori that positions researchers in such a way as to operationalise selfdetermination

      (agentic positioning and behaviour) for research participants. This is because the

      cultural aspirations, understandings and practices of Maori people implement and organise the

      research process. Further, the research issues of power; initiation, benefits, representation,

      legitimation, and accountability are addressed and understood in practice by practitioners of

      Kaupapa Maori research through the development of a participatory mode of consciousness.
