%X This article shares insights into the M─ori and Indigenous Doctoral support programme, MAI Te Kupenga, as one assertion of Indigenous approaches within the Higher Education sector. Including the views of M─ori and Indigenous staff and scholars from a larger project ＾Te T─tua o Kahukura￣ which explored M─ori and Indigenous postdoctoral capacity building, this article provides an overview of M─ori staff and students reflections on the role of MAI Te Kupenga in supporting M─ori and Indigenous scholars throughout their doctoral journey. Key areas of focus for this article are (i) the implications of systemic racism for M─ori and Indigenous scholars; (ii) the effectiveness of supervision for M─ori and Indigenous scholars and (iii) the role of MAI Te Kupenga in providing positive support mechanisms for M─ori and Indigenous scholars studying in mainstream university contexts
