Kiri carries an extensive legacy of legal work in intellectual property rights for over a decade, supporting indigenous peoples through the World Intellectual Property Organisation. She will provide a summary of the Wai 262 claim that sought the protection, conservation, propagation, sale, dispersal, utilisation, and restriction on the use of and transmission of the knowledge of New Zealand Indigenous Flora and Fauna to ensure te tino rangatiratanga o ngā taonga Māori me te mātauranga Māori. Some background will be shared on the legacy of the women who lodged the claim and proposed solutions and legislative change to protect the intellectual property rights of indigenous people in Aotearoa. —- This talk was presented at He Muka Tangata – He Mana Wāhine | International Indigenous Women’s Forum – Aotearoa New Zealand
