Welcome to the 4th International Indigenous Conference on Traditional Knowledge 2010
Tēnei rā te pōwhiri atu ki ngā iwi o ngā hau e whā kia tatū mai rā ki tēnei hui whakaharahara mo te kaupapa kua whakataukītia ake nei, kia whiriwhiringia ai he rautaki hei hāpai anō i a tātau ngā iwi taketake o te ao.
Piki mai, kake mai, haere mai!
Pīkautia mai rā nga tini mate kia tangihia rā e tātau.
Tihei mauri mate! Tihei mauri ora!
Kei muri i te awe kāpara he tangata kē – Recognising, engaging, understanding difference
This conference will discuss strategies for generating social, educational, intellectual, and economic opportunities by building relationships that engage, understand, and accommodate difference to overcome the adverse effects resulting from failure to understand sufficiently the differences among indigenous and non-indigenous communities and societies.
