Ruanuku to provide sage advice to Māori researchers
Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, the centre for Māori research excellence, has created a new award to acknowledge Māori academic leaders who have a long history of bringing about major social change and impact in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The three inaugural distinguished Ruānuku are emeritus professors Sir Mason Durie, Sir Tīpene O’Regan, and Ngahuia Te Awekotuku.
Nga Pae board member Rawinia Higgins says Ruānuku in the Māori world are those who deliver sage wisdom and knowledge and each of the Ruānuku will be providing insight, guidance and mana to the continuing directions and mission of the centre.
