On 17 March 2022, Jacinda Ardern, launched Aotearoa New Zealand's histories (ANZH) and Te Takanga o Te Wā as compulsory curriculum documents to guide the teaching about the country's history in English- and Maori-medium schools in New Zealand from 2023. Te Pouhere Kōrero 10, a special edition of the journal Te Pouhere Kōrero: Māori History, Māori People, was also launched in March 2023 as a response to this reset of the New Zealand history curriculum. Aroha Harris described the release of the journal as "a special event to encourage educators across the country to give it [the curriculum] the mana and care it deserves. For those unsure of how they might teach Māori and iwi histories, we hope this special edition provides some value, insight, and direction." Arini Loader told Waatea News that the writers came from a "position of strength" in terms of their research, some having worked on the development of the curriculum, and made the point that in te ao Māori, historians can be any people within Hapū and Iwi who can tell their stories using the skills and knowledge of Mātauranga Māori. In her contribution to the journal, Aroha Harris noted that while Māori history is about stories, is also encapsulates "sources, methods, philosophical underpinnings, analytical framing, the history...[and can]...connect across time, place, people, seas; its certainty that Māori histories are everywhere, deep within the land, always." Harris suggested that notwithstanding debates about compulsion, a well-resourced curriculum could be effectively implemented and "bolster the education of critically engaged citizens of the future, encouraging all our children and mokopuna to ground themselves, to identify themselves, and to remember their ancestors."
