‘Ngā Āwai Rangatira - Noble Currents of Indigenous Enterprise’ was the perspective delivered by our Directors at the 2026 Indigenous Empowerment Summit - Brisbane.
The key message shared was that
“Cultural value is economic value.”
This extended into recognising the Maiwar (Brisbane River) as a historic economic trade highway, connecting people, communities, and opportunity.
The cultural connections, mana, rights, and responsibilities that First Nations peoples hold to Meanjin waterways and country were highlighted as being of immense significance. These insights resonated deeply with our own kōrero tuku iho and the enduring responsibilities we carry to our tūpuna, our whenua, and the places that shape our identity.
Kātahi rā te kaupapa ko tērā! ❤️💛🖤
Ka nui te mihi ki ngā kaiwhakahaere o te kaupapa, otirā ki te iwi taketake nō te whenua o Meanjin.
Turou Hawaiki-tūruapō ē!🌿
