Ancestral Indigenous perceptions of knowledge and how it was received and processed, deviate from dominant epistemological acumen. Our ancestral ontological practices hold important cues and clues as to how a contemporary researcher can conduct theoretical, holistic research that connects them to animate and inanimate tūpuna (ancestors). Research that promotes the aspirations of those who have paved the way and reflects an increasing consciousness of these cues and clues, is limitless in potential. In the field of education research, these tūpuna-derived, onto-epistemological ways of thinking, doing and being can become conduits to inspire innovative solutions to systemic "tairo" – obstructions. Tohu o ariā privileges the voices of our tūpuna and explores how these "kura" – small treasures, enrich the research space for Indigenous thinkers and cognoscente.
