Abstract

The article discusses the complexities of pluralism and progress in the context of New Zealand's legal education, particularly regarding the teaching of tikanga, which refers to Māori customs and traditions. It critiques the binary framing of views as either progressive or antiquated, suggesting that such dichotomies overlook the nuanced historical and cultural dynamics at play. The author advocates for a shift from narratives of progress to stories of repair, emphasizing the importance of recognizing historical injustices and fostering reciprocal relationships between different cultural perspectives. The piece calls for a more inclusive understanding of justice that transcends traditional legal frameworks and acknowledges the multiplicity of past experiences. [Extracted from the article]
