Dr Laiana Wong is a professor in the Hawai‘inuiäkea School of Hawaiian Knowledge at the University of Hawai’i at Mänoa. His address refocused responsibility for solving social problems back on indigenous peoples themselves by taking a critical look at how well they are maintaining traditional values.

Jim Everett from Tasmania is the Aboriginal representative on the Advisory Board of the Australian National Film and Sound Archive and has a national profile as a published writer, poet, and documentary
film-maker. His address looked at ways to prevent the effects of the ‘colonial dome of thinking’ as it continues to assimilate Aboriginal knowledge.
