Indigenous (Māori) psychologies of sexual health occur at the cultural nexus of Indigenous and Western knowledge, colonising influence and intervention. Formal school-based sexuality education holds potential to intervene in this psychological space by decolonising notions of Māori sexuality, relationships and reproduction. This research utilises an Indigenous feminist (Mana Wāhine) methodology and interviews with 43 Māori participants (26 women and 17 men). We explore how Māori knowledges (mātauranga Māori), responsive to the surrounding colonising context, were interwoven through four themes: relationships, reproductive responsibility, open conversations about sexuality and contraceptive education. Indigenous knowledges can contribute to good sexual health psychologies for all.
本土（毛利）性健康心理学存在于本土和西方知识、殖民影响和干预的文化交汇处。正规的学校性教育有可能通过非殖民化毛利人对性、关系和生殖的观念来干预这一心理空间。本研究采用了本土女权主义（Mana Wāhine）方法，并对 43 名毛利参与者（26 名女性和 17 名男性）进行了采访。我们探讨了毛利知识（mātauranga Māori）如何在四个主题中交织在一起：关系、生殖责任、关于性的开放对话和避孕教育。本土知识可以为所有人的良好性健康心理学做出贡献。
