This evening at the Due Drop Events Centre in Auckland, Dame Cindy attended a gala dinner as part of Whaiora o Ngā Iwi Taketake – the inaugural conference hosted by Te Hononga o Tāmaki me Hoturoa. Te Hononga is a hauora Māori health provider based in Tāmaki Makaurau, and its conference, which runs for four days, is a celebration of indigenous peoples and knowledge, and seeks to foster a holistic approach to community and whānau wellbeing. Attendees included Māori health professionals, researchers, policy makers, academics, students, business owners, and community workers focused on indigenous health.
