CGA x AIGI: Indigenous Governance Podcast Series (Available to watch and listen now!)

Speakers Kevin Haunui and Bhiamie Williamson explore how Indigenous peoples in Australia and Aotearoa understand governance as a lived practice of self-determination that’s rooted in culture, identity, and collective decision-making. 

Alex Splitt and Mihi Blair discuss how effective governance creates the foundations for economic development and nation building, and how communities are designing their own pathways toward a more self-determined future. 

Treaty is more than a political process — it’s a governance framework that shapes relationships between Indigenous nations and the state. In this episode, Janelle Riki-Waaka and Dr Ivan Ingram look at how Te Tiriti o Waitangi has evolved in Aotearoa and how treaty is progressing across Australian jurisdictions, and what they mean for supporting more self-determined futures for Indigenous peoples. 

Indigenous governance is intergenerational. It’s passed on, reimagined, and renewed. In this episode, Taylor Curd and Daniel Ronsendale will talk about how youth engagement and cultural grounding are changing the landscape of Indigenous governance. 

Across the series, leaders, scholars, and emerging voices share insights on governance, cultural authority, decision-making, treaty frameworks, and the next generation shaping the future. Day 5 will see all the episodes come together in one place with a bonus message from CEOs Rose Hiha Agnew (CGA) and Ragina Rogers (AIGI).
