In particular she has articulated Indigenous Māori perspectives which have always emphasised the vital significance of connections to cultural and collective concepts such as whānau, whenua, and wairua. In this conversation with John O’Connor Anna explores and develops these ideas, and their crucial importance to the well-being, perhaps of us all, and in particular, for Indigenous Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand.
