3.2.2 Connect with Indigenous Networks - Project Details:

Description:

This project is to connect with indigenous networks worldwide, to share wisdom and experiences and to provide support for each others initiatives.

  • We will have international knowledge about protecting ndigenous rights that we can apply locally
  • We will develop more effective protocols for protecting our intellectual property
  • We will have visibilty and the ability to contribute to international indigenous thinking.
  • We will trade website links to improve each other's visibility on the web.
  • Our local wananga and retreats could become part of the indigenous wisdom learning network.
  • We will have international networks that we can use to support and market our unque enterprises
  • The world will act in more sustainability ways as a result of understanding indigenous practices.and values
  • New Zealand will be seen to be making a unique contribution as a role model on the world scene.
