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.

Sunday May 23: Meeting with the NZ contingent

Tonight we meet and had kai with the other New Zealand presenters at the conference. This gave us a chance to talk through protocols around the opening ceremony as well as our groups contribution to events. Between this hui and breakfast at the hotel we have meet some great people who are doing excellent work to meet Maori health needs. Keen to hear some of their presentation.

Khyla has been invited on to one or the waka which will be brought a shore as an honored representative the NZ contingent (pictures will be taken).

Tomorrow morning will be spent refining presentations before the official ceremony starts at 3pm.
