Massey University has organised an interesting speaker during OA week. Lynell Tuffery Huria is a Māori trade mark lawyer and expert on indigenous law and protection of cultural icons. She will discuss why open knowledge concepts are not consistent with mātauranga Māori or kaitiaki rights and responsibilities in relation to mātauranga Māori and why it is important that Aotearoa continues working towards a framework that recognises these and is consistent with te ao Māori principles.
