What a fabulous 4 days this was - finished today.

What a wonderful opportunity to sit amongst international researchers sharing their knowledge and gained along a range of milestone of their academic journey. Including Many who work outside of the academic institutions which bought a different perspective on looking global issues from a local to global perspective. 'The key question for me from the first Keynote Speaker was, to reflect upon, 'What are we called to do - as Maori or Indigenous researchers?

Will share with you one of the performances that took place on Day 1. Trust you enjoy. There will be others to follow and images.
