N2  - Indigenous communities across settler societies experience similarly high incidence rates of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). This research investigates how Māori (Indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand) survivors of familial childhood sexual abuse (FCSA) use Indigenous ways of being and doing as a source of strength and resilience. Kaupapa Māori methodology (by Māori, for Māori) is employed, and dialogue is held between theoretical constructs from mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) and non-Māori theories of family. Seventeen Māori survivors of FCSA were interviewed, and their stories were analysed using a pūrākau (Indigenous narrative) approach. Findings explore how survivor engagement with practices of manaakitanga (care and reciprocity), wairuatanga (spirituality) and kotahitanga (collectivity and unity) can act as sources of resilience. Kaiāwhina (contributors) draw on elements of te ao Māori (the Māori world) to support their movement through distress into recovery and then use their experience with te ao Māori to create long-lasting change in their whānau (family unit). In Aotearoa, two in three tamawāhine (Māori daughters) and two in seven tama (Māori sons) are victims of CSA. This research demonstrates that access to practices which reflect ancestral whanaungatanga can provide healing for survivors and protection of future generations. (Authors' abstract). Record #8580
