Panels will be formed from presentation abstracts that cover law, political science, history, art, human development, individual and community health, ecology & environmental science with particular emphasis upon continuation and development of innovative systems and structures that most effectively empower Indigenous Communities. Each panel will be a combination of traditional and academic presentations.
