NPM's biennial 2020 International Indigenous Research Conference (#IIRC20) was our first online conference

From 18 - 20 November, we hosted a virtual "Gathering of Indigenous Minds" from our base here at Waipapa Marae, University of Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.

Around the world Indigenous peoples are actively engaged in finding actionable solutions in response to climate change to ensure the survival and flourishing of our planet, places and peoples. IICCRS 13-17 November 2023 is an International Indigenous-led online gathering designed to amplify Indigenous voices, ideas and actionable solutions.

From early in 2020, across our planet, Indigenous peoples followed the emerging COVID-19 pandemic with keen interest. We have vivid memories of the impact that infectious diseases can wreck on our communities, from the 1918 Influenza pandemic, to SARS, Ebola and measles.
