Ep 10: Kāinga Moana with Ata Siulua

This episode builds on Ep 9 on CTS and introduces some of Ata Siulua's research on family and Indigenous kinship. We discuss rethinking assumptions that are made about the definition of 'family' and interrogating the role of colonial perspectives on Indigenous social systems. Ata shares Indigenous perspectives of kāinga (Tongan for clan, village, extended family) and we discuss how it is connected to other relational concepts to place and people across the Moana (Ocean) and beyond. *Warning: unfortunately there were sirens in the background during a brief moment while recording, just a heads up in case your driving.
