Dr Elizabeth Kerekere and Green Candidate for Ikaroa-Rawhiti argues that pre-colonial Maori were sexually experimental people who openly accepted gender and sexual fluidity. Anyone who didn't fit into heterosexuality was considered "takatāpui". We spoke with Kerekere to discuss takatāpui and it's place in the past and precense for Māori.
