What every Councillor should know about contemporary papakāinga on whenua Māori (with Jade Kake)

Housing our New Zealand

Jade Kake will discuss, among other issues:

1. the definition of contemporary papakāinga,

2. why councils should approach papakāinga housing different from other kinds of housing, and

3. highlight international stories/examples of indigenous housing, and how the information is applicable to New Zealand
