NATIVE Minds is a series of interactive discussions examining how Indigenous thinking shapes our existence and our view of the world. In an informal setting, governed by tikanga, guest speakers from home and abroad offer their life experiences and ideas with eager audiences. The topics are wide and varied yet speak to the hopes and values we all believe in.
