International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples

These webinars are held in conjunction with the UN’s International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples and aim to raise awareness and protect the rights of the world’s indigenous population.

We acknowledge the differences in circumstances between indigenous peoples of New Zealand and Australia and therefore for this topic, we’ll be hosting 2 separate webinars back to back. The first will be focused on the Maori population of New Zealand and the second, for the first peoples of Australia and we encourage you to attend both if you can!
