\"\"<\/a>This co-authored paper centres the M\u0101ori cultural practice of tangi, both as a way to heal and to be heard, for four new and emerging M\u0101ori community health researchers involved in a Kaupapa M\u0101ori research mentorship. If research mentorships are about growing research capability and capacity, we highlight here that another important \u2018c\u2019 comes first \u2013 confidence. For over 20 years, Kaupapa M\u0101ori theory and research have carved out critically important space for M\u0101ori to research \u2018as M\u0101ori\u2019 in academia, yet omnipresent colonialism continues to cast doubts on the validity of our voices as researchers, and our \u2018worthiness\u2019 or ability to step confidently into research space. Here, four emerging M\u0101ori researchers who are committed to making research-informed health changes in our communities share how our confidence to \u2018do\u2019 research grew during a summer Kaupapa M\u0101ori research mentorship. We each experience the emotion of tangi \u2013 be it a bird\u2019s call or weeping \u2013 in different ways. Therefore, rather than offer advice on \u2018how to become confident as an emerging Kaupapa M\u0101ori researcher\u2019, this co-authored paper encourages you to hear, and importantly feel, these stories about \u2018becoming\u2019 and to consider how research must do better to create more Kaupapa M\u0101ori-led opportunities for M\u0101ori to confidently step into research with, and for, their communities.<\/p>\n
