Journals

Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga publishes two peer-reviewed scholarly journals, AlterNative and MAI Journal. Each journal has its own website with access to content, information about the journal and author guidelines.

AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary scholarly journal. It  presents indigenous worldviews from native indigenous perspectives. The journal spans themes of origins, place, peoples, community, culture, traditional and oral history, heritage, colonialism, power, intervention, development and self-determination. For further information visit the AlterNative website.

MAI Journal: A New Zealand Journal of Indigenous Scholarship is an open access scholarly journal that publishes multidisciplinary peer-reviewed articles around indigenous knowledge and development in the context of Aotearoa New Zealand. MAI Journal welcomes papers that critically analyse and address all indigenous issues in the context of Aotearoa New Zealand. MAI Journal has grown from MAI Review, the journal of the former Capability Building programme of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga. MAI Journal reflects developments in the vision and mission of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, the landscape of indigenous research in Aotearoa New Zealand, and builds on the legacy of MAI Review.

MAI Review was the journal of the former Capability Building programme of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga. Published from 2006 until 2011, all MAI Review content is still freely available online. To access this content, visit the MAI Review website.
