Rapua Rangahau | Search Our Research

With the arrival of Matariki, our NPM whānau took some much needed time to rest and reflect - remembering those who have passed, celebrating the present with loved ones, and looking forward to the coming year. With kai being so central to Matariki, some of us may have needed to get in some extra steps once the celebrations were over.

The NPM offices are abuzz with activity and excitement as we head into our biggest ever International Indigenous Research Conference yet.

E ngā kaipupuri mātauranga – tēnā rawa atu koutou. I have been reflecting on my first year as Pou Matarua and the enormous privilege it has been to work alongside Tahu, the NPM secretariat, our Kāhui Ārahi and the many affiliated researchers, kaimahi and hapori members who exemplify our overarching kaupapa of Flourishing Māori Futures. NPM’s important mahi wouldn’t come to fruition if everyone wasn’t actually on the waka and paddling in the same direction! As such, I am taking the liberty of using some space in this last e-pānui of 2025 to say “e mihi nunui ana ki a koutou katoa”. I acknowledge and appreciate all of the contributions you make - ahakoa he iti, he pounamu.
