Notes
1 The term Indigenous is used solely to maintain consistency throughout the text and refers to the First Peoples of the Pacific lands and waterways referred to in this conversation. It should be noted that the term First Nations is also widely accepted across the North and South Pacific by First Peoples as a respectful signifier of Indigeneity.
