Welcoming our new Kaumatua
We are very pleased to announce Kura Moeahu (QSO), has agreed to be our new Kaumatuā.
The role is in succession to Pāpā Bill Kaua, who sadly passed away in December last year after serving with Te Pātaka Whaioranga for 13 years.
Kura is a very well-known and respected leader in Māoridom, exemplified by his role as Cultural Advisor to Parliament. His appointment brings a strong foundation in mātauranga Māori, tikanga and mana whenua through his whakapapa links to Te Atiawa.
Kura starts his tenure with us in mid-July where he will be welcomed with a powhiri.
