In 2002 I was invited by a group of M_ori women principals (headteachers) in New Zealand and Western Australia to be involved in a collaborative research project. This documented their professional biographies to highlight the specific challenges they faced as minority administrators (Yeakey, Johnston & Adkison, 1986). Although my pragmatic response was to accept the invitation to act as researcher, I was very mindful of debates that called for indigenous researchers to work with/in indigenous communities (Cram, 2001; Menzies, 2001; Moreton-Robinson, 2000; Smith, 1999). My ‘work’ was not simply that of an academic undertaking research and this project was not solely about gathering the stories and re-telling them in productive and respectful ways. On one level I was an academic and a researcher with the requisite skills and knowledge to complete the project, yet on another level I was an invited guest.
