The Inaugural Te Herenga Waka o Te Ora Whānau International Indigenous Symposium will focus on traditional indigenous concepts, values, ideals, models and strategies for sustaining balanced and healthy relationships within and across families, communities, nations, nation-states, local, regional and global borders, territories and environments.
The Indigenous Symposium will provide opportunities to discuss indigenous strategies for sustaining relationships between collective gambling providers, for resolving the impacts of gambling within Māori and indigenous communities to restore balance and mana, particularly for those whānau members who have been affected.
This Indigenous Symposium will also be an opportunity to share what has been learnt from diverse contexts from around the world about how indigenous gambling models, values, concepts and processes have been incorporated into state or government initiatives and the impacts of this on indigenous peoples.
The Indigenous Symposium, with associated community workshops and satellite meetings, enables us to bring together in dialogue a wide range of participants, perspectives, voices, frameworks and models for understanding how indigenous people relate to problem gambling issues in their communities.
