Abstract
Indigenous Voices from the World's Longest Lockdown
A collection of reflections, strategies and calls to action from various Indigenous individuals, organisations, and businesses that experienced 263 days of lock down in Naam (Melbourne).
These indigenous voices played an integral part in nurturing an environment for Māori in Naam to survive, succeed and grow as individuals, families, and communities during and after the lock down.
Hear how they did this, what worked, what didn’t and what they may ask of you now, after living this experience.
