520 _aReproductive justice in Aotearoa must be centred in Indigenous reproductive justice, challenging social and government systems that seek to maintain control of wāhine Māori[i] bodies in contradiction to our role as ‘he whare takata[ii]’, the house of humanity. Through centring our atua wāhine pūrākau knowledge, I look at the shift from wāhine as the holders of whakapapa[iii], through birthing practices and knowledge keepers, to the focus of the Aotearoa[iv] colonial project where women and children are controlled and punished. This paper is a reflective historical and contemporary analysis of complicit social work and settler state intervention on Māori bodies, with particular focus on wāhine and the child protection system. The paper draws on the research and knowledge collected by wāhine researchers in the last 30 years, alongside my doctoral study locating Kāi Tahu wāhine narratives post child protection system. Attention is paid to the colonial agenda which started prior to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in the clearly scripted story that usurped wāhine and continues today in multiple forms, including the child protection system.
