    9th Annual “Living Breath of wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ” Indigenous Foods Virtual Symposium “Food is Resistance” Saturday, June 5th 2021 Hosted by University of Washington’s American Indian Studies Department and the Na’ah Illahee Fund Find us at: https://livingbreathfoodsymposium.org/ www.facebook.com/UWLivingBreath Twitter - @LivingBreathUW Welcome from our Symposium Committee! First, we want to acknowledge and pay respect to the Coast Salish peoples whose traditional territory our event is normally held on at the University of Washington’s wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ Intellectual House. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to come together last year but we are so grateful to be able to reunite this year in a safe virtual format. We appreciate the patience of this community and our presenters’ collective understanding and we are thrilled to be back. We hope to be able to gather in person in 2022. We are also very pleased you can join us today for our 9th annual “Living Breath of wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ” Indigenous Foods Symposium. This event brings together individuals to share their knowledge and expertise on topics such as Indigenous foodways and ecological knowledge, Tribal food sovereignty and security initiatives, traditional foods/medicines and health/wellness, environmental justice, treaty rights, and climate change. Our planning committee is composed of Indigenous women who represent interdisciplinary academic fields of study and philanthropy and we volunteer our time to host this annual symposium. We are committed to Indigenous food, environmental, and social justice and recognize the need to maintain a community-based event as we all carry on this important work. We host this event and will continue to utilize future symposia to better serve our Indigenous communities as we continue to foster dialogue and build collaborative networks to sustain our cultural food practices and preserve our healthy relationships with the land, water, and all living things.

Content of the summary of decisions requested report The report is made up of concise summaries of the decisions requested in submissions. The report is not intended to be a summary of the submissions in their entirety and does not include reasons for the request or other supporting material included in the submissions. The original submission should be referred to if you are seeking to make a further submission, or to fully understand the issues raised by a submitter.

That process has been controversial. In particular, a 2006 agreement in principle between the Crown and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei was seen by other iwi as inimical to their interests and contrary to the Crown’s Treaty obligations to them. As part of resolving that controversy the Crown entered into a settlement deed with the group of iwi known as the Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau collective (the Collective).

  • Auckland Libraries RDA Monograph Standard
    Auckland Libraries Cataloguing policy for monographs The following document contains the minimum requirements for cataloguing using RDA instructions. For full instructions refer to the RDA Toolkit. Auckland Libraries policy on the use of RDA for monograph records is as follows: For Original Cataloguing • Catalogue the title in hand as to what the material is, not the collection the material is being allocated to, e.g. children’s fiction being allocated to a nonfiction collection should have children’s fiction subject headings only. • Use the current Auckland Libraries RDA policy for monographs. For Copy Cataloguing RDA • Catalogue the title in hand as to what the material is, not the collection the material is being allocated to, e.g. children’s fiction being allocated to a nonfiction collection should have children’s fiction subject headings only. • If an RDA record is available, use it and make revisions based on RDA instructions, LC practice, and local coding practices. • If only an AACR2 record is available upgrade record to RDA using the current Auckland Libraries RDA policy for monographs. • If only a hybrid AACR2/RDA record is available upgrade record to RDA using the current Auckland Libraries RDA policy for monographs General Information about RDA and RDA Coding Practices RDA Content -- The content of RDA introduces new concepts with a new organizational scheme that is closely aligned with the entity-attribute-relationship conceptual models of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and the Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD). RDA does not prescribe any standard for display purposes, but for now most libraries will continue to use MARC and International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD).

Follow the estuary past a camping ground, a boat ramp & holiday baches until wooden steps lead up to the Findlay Street walkway. From Findlay Street, head left into Molesworth Drive until reaching Mangawhai Village. Then a right into Moir Street, left into Insley Street and across the estuary then left into Black Swamp Road. Follow this road until reaching Pacific Road which leads you through a forestry block to the beach and the next stage of Te Araroa. Bypass Note: You could obtain a boat ride across the estuary to the Mangawhai Spit to avoid the road walking section. Care of sand-nesting birds is required on this Scientific Wildlife Reserve - please stick to the shoreline. Just 1km south, a stream cuts across the beach and it can go over thigh height, as can other water crossings on this track. Follow the coast southwards for another 2km, then take the 1 track over Te Ārai Point. Once back on the beach, continue south for 12km (fording Poutawa Stream on the way) until you cross the Pākiri River then head inland to reach the end of Pākiri River Road.
