evaluating, and disseminating IT research prototypes for and with indigenous
partners is both challenging and rewarding. In conjunction with our domain
expert collaborators, Te Rau Aroha Marae (Bluff, Aotearoa/New Zealand) and our
academic colleagues at the universities of Waikato and Canterbury, we are
implementing a mixed reality telepresence system to connect a diasporic Māori
community to their historical, cultural and geographic mātauranga (knowledge).
In this article we describe our project, Ātea Presence, which is guided by the
principles of partnership, participation, and protection. We describe the design
and evaluation of the system developed, the collaborative process we undertook
with Te Rau Aroha Marae and our Māori academic colleagues and report on lessons
learned along the way.
