International Indigenous Development Research Conference 2012

Auckland, New Zealand

6th Biennial Conference hosted by Ngâ Pae o te Mâramatanga

The 6th Biennial Ngâ Pae o te Mâramatanga conference will highlight indigeneity and the multidisciplinary approach used for indigenous development.
Presentations and papers will address all aspects of the following themes central to the realisation of indigenous development:
Optimising Indigenous Economic Wellbeing - addressing issues, needs and opportunities arising in Mâori and indigenous communities leading to increased economic independence and self-determination.
Healthy and Thriving Indigenous Families - addressing issues, need and opportunities arising in indigenous families leading to health, successful and thriving indigenous families.
Enhancing Indigenous Distinctiveness - understanding the distinctive contributions that indigenous communities - people, knowledge, assets, resources - do and may yet make to the world at large. Yielding opportunities for development that may not be sourced from any other community or population.

All presentations will be 20 min, plus 5 min for questions, and are expected to address one of more of the identified conference outcomes. More information on the themes and outcomes can be found on www.indigenousdevelopment2012.ac.nz
