History

The proposed 2007 PIKO event is the fifth of its kind of international gathering of indigenous visual artists; following the first in Aotearoa (New Zealand 1995). The first Pacific Northwest America gatheringwas held at the Longhouse Education and Cultural Center at Evergreen State College, (Olympia, Washington, USA, 2001) and the recent Te Mata gatheringwas held in Heretaunga Hastings, Aotearoa (New Zealand, January 16 - 22, 2005) this year. In the spirit of its' predecessors, PIKO, the navel of the Pacific rim, will be held in Hawai'i. The event will begin on June 15, 2007 and conclude eight days later on June 22.
