Profile (April 2022)

 I became the Kaumātua representative on the Board in 1999 and since then have gained vast knowledge and experience of iwi kaupapa during this time. I have traveled the length and breadth of Aotearoa to support Kahungunu kaupapa that are important to our people. It's been a pleasure to support and represent our iwi and give advice to our people. These important events are carried out at the request of our iwi leaders. The tasks of the Kaumātua are many and I would like to acknowledge all Kaumātua who work for their whanau, hapū and marae to keep the paepae strong and uphold tikanga on the marae.
