He Aitua | Associate Professor Dr Mānuka Henare

E te purapura tuawhiti e Mānuka

Kua tuakoka te ao rangahau Māori

Ka ngākau titikaha hei mumu

Kia whakaora anō ai te ohaoha a te Māori

Nāu anō ngā kaupapa tuatinitini, kaupapa taioreore

O Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga i kōkiri i tohutohu ki ōna taumata angitū

Haere rā e te Ihumanea, tē wareware tō rahi tō ihi

Tēnei a Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga e whakamiha e whakamānawa

 

E Mānuka, our noted and esteemed leader

The Māori research world has become impoverished by your departure

You were a stalwart, resolute, dedicated to the restoration

Of the Indigenous and Māori economy

Traversing the many leadership and advisory roles

Within Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga you ensured excellence and successful achievement

Travel well, for your great contribution will not be forgotten

Tis with deep appreciation and respect, Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga bids you farewell

It is with great sadness that we grieve the passing of our dear friend Associate Professor Dr Mānuka Henare.

Dr Henare was a long-serving member of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga who provided critical research leadership and mentorship in the fields of mātauranga, Māori and Indigenous business enterprise, development economics, history, and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

 In 2020, NPM announced one of three new and prestigious Named Summer Internship Scholarships, and in consultation with Mānuka's whanau this named scholarship “Whai Rawa Whai Ora: A tribute to Mānuka’s vision for a healthy Māori wellbeing economy” was founded in recognition of Dr Henare's exceptional contribution to Māori leadership and scholarship.

 

Our deepest condolences go out to the whānau at this time.

 

Kei te mūrau a te nuipuku

Nei a Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga e mihi e tangi

Haere e Te Aitanga a Tiki, okioki ai

Associate Professor Dr Mānuka Henare
