The presentation videos from last weeks Extractive Industry Symposium are now available online.

On the 12th June, at Waipapa Marae the Faculty of Law, supported with funding from the New Zealand Law Foundation and Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, held a day long symposium on Māori Engagement with the Mining and Extractive industry.

Presenters included:
- Professor James Anaya
- Professor Marcia Langton
