Abstract
There are always at least two stories that emerge when students on a course are split into separate ethnic groups. This is the story of the Maori wome n academics who taught and tutored Maori, Pacific Islands and Asian women i n a university course exploring feminism and matauranga wahine (women's kno wledge) (see Jones, this issue). They tell of their own experiences and als o what they saw happening to students who were facilitated in exploring the ir own cultural stories before encountering white feminism. They also talk of their experience of teaching non-Maori students.
