Summary:

The "spirit" of Indigenous vitalities was the focus of my doctoral research. The existence and relevance of this spirit, its vital and revitalizing relationship to much-needed healing and well-being in our Indigenous communities, and new ways of speaking, thinking, and therefore collaborating and freeing it into and through our personal-international-intergenerational lives and bodies were outcomes. This case study offers readers a portal and invitation into the emergent, insider telling of how I became aware of the movement of this spirit in my life sufficient to develop and apply Kaupapa Māori research. Rangahau Māori is also introduced as an example of holistic, conscientized Indigenous research processes. Readers are shown how they enabled me to develop and apply methodologic forms to trace the presence, power, and movement of this revitalizing Indigenous spirit into and through my own and other Indigenous people's lives, nations, and literature. Readers are given an opportunity to understand the importance of insider research, of bringing all of who we are into our research journeys to create processes and outcomes that facilitate the healing rather than the harming of Māori/Indigenous people, knowledge, and lifeways. In so doing, we also recohere the healing, wholeness, and dignity of our personal-global-intergenerational human potential and lives.
