Subsequently I became a participant in Pkeh Tiriti community education initiatives, in all aspects of a thirty-year academic career in organisational studies, and more lately, with those who invite me into their projects. 28 recorded webinars were made available on the #decol2020 YouTube channel. In so doing we may permeate not dissolve the categories of western mechanistic, instrumental thinking with its post enlightenment separation of research, teaching, lore breaking, and law making. Actions taken include one participant utilising the webinars to deliberately strengthen their allyship skills, and others planning on having more conversations about racism and privilege to recruit more allies in challenging White privilege. 2 Tauiwi is a word that refers to new people, later settlers. Scheduling suggestions included not having so many events at one time, spreading the programme over two weeks, allowing for more time between events, providing more interactive options, having a tighter agenda, and scheduling more sessions between 6 and 8pm.

Reflection on a history that draws back from the attempted erasure of Mori draws our eye to the work of Hannah Arendt, who along with scholars such as Levinas and Habermas concerned themselves with a hope that humanity would never succumb to the depravity of [such a] Holocaust (Martin, Citation2019, p. 14).
