The narratives of under-represented groups and their connection to Antarctica remain poorly documented and acknowledged in the research literature. This paper begins to fill this gap. Our exploration of Māori connections to Antarctica details first voyagers through to involvement in recent science projects, as well as representations of mātauranga in carving and weaving. This exploration begins to construct a richer and more inclusive picture of Antarctica's relationship with humanity. By detailing these historical and contemporary connections, we build a platform on which much wider conversations about New Zealand relationships with Antarctica can be furthered. More than this, however, we create space for other under-represented groups and peoples to articulate their narratives of connection to the southern land- and sea-scapes. In so doing, we provide significant first steps for uncovering the rich and varied ways in which Antarctica features in the lives and futures of indigenous and other under-represented communities.
在研究文献中，代表性不足群体的故事及其与南极洲的联系仍然记录甚少且未得到认可。本文开始填补这一空白。我们对毛利人与南极洲联系的探索详细介绍了首批航海者直至他们参与近期科学项目的情况，以及雕刻和编织中体现的毛利传统知识。这一探索开始构建一幅关于南极洲与人类关系的更丰富、更具包容性的图景。通过详述这些历史和当代联系，我们搭建了一个平台，在此基础上可以进一步推动关于新西兰与南极洲关系的更广泛对话。然而，不止于此，我们为其他代表性不足的群体和民族创造了空间，让他们能够阐明自己与这片南方陆地和海洋景观的联系故事。这样做，我们为揭示南极洲在土著及其他代表性不足社区的生活和未来中所呈现的丰富多样方式迈出了重要的第一步。
