Quote from the thesis:

"discourse on how mana taonga and m?tauranga M?ori intersects with the
dominant research paradigm used in NATHIST systematics, palaeontology,
classification and evolution is largely absent from analysis and debate.
Non Neo-Darwinian views of nature, ancestry and evolution struggle to get
mentioned in science discussions and publications, especially in NZ from my
own experience, although they appear to align well with Indigenous
Knowledge (IK) views on the interconnectedness of the world,
organism/environment wholeness and complexity. One has to search hard to
find published contributions on this topic by mainstream systematists. Some
M?ori scholars have criticised the racism expressed by Linnaeus and Darwin,
written on the differences between western and M?ori knowledge systems and
expressed their views on the heavy institutionalisation of western science,
its negative impacts on indigenous people and its tokenism towards IK and
people."
