Hirini Moko Mead

Ko Hirini Moko Mead nō ngā iwi o Te Moana a Toitehuatahi tae noa ki Taupō, arā nō Ngāti Awa, nō Tūhourangi, nō Ngāti Tūwharetoa. Ko ia tonu te ahorangi i whakaū ai i te Tari mō ngā Mātauranga Māori kei Te Whare Wānanga o Te Upoko o Te Ika-a-Māui (Victoria University of Wellington); he kaiwhakarite mātua ia ki te kawe i ngā tono a Ngāti Awa ki mua ki te aroaro o te Rōpū Whakamana i Te Tiriti. He tino kaiārahi hoki a Hirini i te hunga nā rātou Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiarangi i whakatū ai kei Whakatane.
