Abstract
Lagona (lah-ngor-nah) is firstly a Samoan word that literally means a gut feeling or an unexplained conviction that something is so. In this chapter Lagona describes an indigenous and time-validated way of knowing and learning. Where there is intrinsic knowledge about the cultural principles, mores and processes for making teaching and learning accessible, Lagona illuminates these learning structures by intuitively validating the unseen and subtle cultural spaces that students are armed with when they reach the classroom. Lagona guides pastoral care and supports the retention and success of Pasifika students in higher education.
