Moana Jackson

Moana Jackson (Ngāti Kahungunu, Rongomaiwahine, Ngāti Porou) brings to this project his love of whānau, and his knowledge and experience disentangling us from the harms of colonisation. Moana’s contribution to tino rangatiratanga includes the ground breaking He Whāipaanga Hou project on Māori experience of the criminal justice system, co-founding and directing Ngā Kaiwhakamarama i Ngā Ture, chairing the Caucus for Indigenous Peoples which led to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and co-chairing the Independent Iwi Working Group which led to the Matike Mai Aotearoa report on constitutional transformation. There are countless examples of Moana supporting kaupapa, educating, mediating, mentoring. He is a beloved koro and matua.
