Acknowledgements
Ngā mihi
Given what we have learnt through running workshops for 18 to 25 year-olds, the first thank you must go to the over 300 individuals who attended McGuinness Institute workshops since 2011. Your energy, ideas and insights provided the initial spark for creating Āpōpō Journal.

Thank you to the Māori Language Commission for directing us to Basil Keane, whose whakaaro suggestions, patience and perseverance were vital during the translation process. Te Ara (Encyclopedia of New Zealand) and the Māori Dictionary were also great resources.

Thank you to the McGuinness Institute team, in particular to designer Ashley Brown and intern Holly Diepraam. We would also like to thank all the photographers who kindly shared their images and the poets who shared their words with us. Finally, thank you to the participants of the focus groups we held during the journal’s production. Your feedback was invaluable in forming and shaping Āpōpō Journal.
