As Indigenous outward migration expands, some diaspora groups are larger than their population back home which is the case for many in the Pacific diaspora. Research with Indigenous peoples is largely conducted in their homelands, with minimal research on their experiences in other countries. As Pacific Indigenous academics, we employed a dimension of talanoa in the written form to provide insights into our academic journeys. The direction of the talanoa highlight how we have successfully navigated various spaces in relation to decolonising and Indigenising education, and our intentions for standing in solidarity with the native people of the countries in which we reside. This article adds voice to Indigenous communities in diaspora who have been invisible both in the motherland and new homeland. It is envisioned that this work will add to Indigenous education scholarship, and better inform academic and professional practice.
