Nga Maia O Aotearoa's India Experience

Abstract:

Nga Maia representatives from the four corners of Te Ika a Maui (North Island) attended the above conference [the 5th Asia Pacific Conference] with their NZCOM Treaty Partner Karen Guilliland. I was great to have Karen's whanau along to awhi and support us. Rukmini Maya and Sian Burgess from Auckland were helpful. Rukmini could speak the language and understood the culture. Her bartering skills and advice on how to cope with breastfeeding mothers who were begging on the streets helped to "save us from ourselves".
