Often young indigenous women are framed in ways that problematize and pathologize them, which overlooks their strengths. We interviewed 16 young Indigenous Maori women aged 14 to 18 years about their understandings of safety, being safe, and how they kept themselves and their friends safe. Reflecting and Learning, aided by progressing age and maturity, is the process that mediated their feeling unsafe and keeping safe and resulted in being safe. Young Maori women’s reflecting and learning facilitates relatively mature levels of resourcefulness for navigating being safe, including situations
they encountered appear unsafe.(Authors' abstract). Record #6504
