Kia ora, this blog intends to provide a record of Kāhui Kai Tahu's (an Otago Polytechnic Maori Staff group) trip to present at the International Network of Indigenous Health Conference (INIHKD). The conference will be held in Poulsbo, Washington State, U.S.A. from the 24th-28th of May 2010. In addition to presenting at the conference the party will also be meeting with persons and communities concerned with Indigenous health in Vancouver and surrounding areas. We hope you find our record both informative and entertaining.

  2. Great to have your schedule on here so we can follow you! I'm going to put it out across Twitter and also through our OT4OT group on facebook - just as an example of how someone can use blogging to keep colleagues in touch with their activities - is that okay?
    Safe travels!
