In this chapter we reflect on the application of Kaupapa Māori Praxis (KMP) to document and respond to the everyday experiences of households experiencing in-work poverty in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). KMP encompasses a relationally ethical form of community-engaged methodology that is informed by key cultural principles in the research design, fieldwork, and efforts to inform responses to community needs (Hodgetts et al., 2022; Rua et al., 2021, 2023; Smith, 1997, 2003). The project used to exemplify KMP is also informed by Standing’s (2011, 2014) theorising of the precariat as a diverse and emergent social class populated by a range of income-related insecurities. Standing’s conceptualisation of the precariat has recently been indigenised by Rua et al. (2023) to reflect the lived complexities of precarity for Māori and related groups in NZ. Our application of this theorising also speaks to diverse efforts in Indigenous, community, liberation, and critical psychologies to deconstruct and respond to structural and intergroup inequities that negatively impact culturally and socio-economically marginalised communities (Decolonial Psychology Editorial Collective, 2021; Hodgetts & Stolte, 2017; Holzkamp, 1992; Martín-Baró, 1994; Murray, 2012; Rua et al., 2023; Sloan, 2000).
