The School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography at the University of Oxford is giving pioneering Māori scholar, Mākereti Papakura, a posthumous degree more than 100 years after she began her studies. Born in Aotearoa New Zealand in 1873, Mākereti is believed to be the first indigenous woman to matriculate to the University.
