ABSTRACT
Utilising the colours of black, turquoise, and red to represent aspects of creation, this chapter centralises the scholarship of Indigenous Pacific and Kanaka ʻŌiwi women, who have confronted the corpus of Indigenous/Pacific knowledge as masculine and patriarchal. There is a growing necessity to expand upon complexities of Indigenous gender and sexuality in non-heteronormative, non-binary, genderful, and gender-fluid identities in relation to creation, lands, waters, birthing, menstruation, and the moon to add to the body of literature devoted to our more than human relations. This exploratory writing engages in this conversation with emphasis on the entities of Pō, Hina, and Pelehonuamea.
