10 - What does it Mean to Be Indigenous?

Episode 10 What does it mean to be Indigenous with Kirk Huffman.

In this episode on the mat, we discuss what it means to be Indigenous. We will talk with Kirk Huffman, who is a good friend of the podcast and of Melanesian Women Today. He has worked and lived with indigenous people in many parts of the world. Kirk Huffman is both an Anthropologist and Ethnologist who pursued studies in Anthropology, Prehistoric Archaeology, and Ethnology at the universities of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oxford, and Cambridge in the U.K.

We would like to thank the following contributors to make this episode - Vanuatu Cultural Centre for providing music; the United Nations for information in defining Indigenous; the Bougainville Island Bamboo Pipe Band, and to Agnes Binihi and her students at Tebakor College in Port Vila, Vanuatu. Finally, to our two wonderful mums who provided us with profound words of wisdom. To Mrs. Ana Tubuleca Tarere, a vey big Vinaka Vakalevu to you and to Mrs. Florence Korokoro, Tankyu Tumas for providing us your thoughts on being Indigenous.
