Ko te tangi o ngā manga iti, o ngā manga nui, huihuia mai ngā wai, ngā ngaru pukepuke kia tupu te puna roimata ki roto i ahau e. Ko te reo aroha o Te Wai Māori e tangi ake nei

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the recent passing of our alternate director, Ian Ruru. Ian made a significant contribution to the mahi of Te Wai Māori Trust and as a member of our Te Mana o ngā Tuna rōpū. His deep understanding of Wai Māori as both a practitioner and governor was invaluable and highly respected across Te Ao Māori, science, local government and the broader community. Chair of Te Wai Māori Trust, Rawiri Faulkner reflects on his immense contribution. ‘He was incredibly competent, but most of all he was a lovely person with a deep aroha for his people our taiao and our taonga’

Ian will be deeply missed by all of us at Te Wai Māori, and within the broader kāhui of Te Ohu Kaimoana. We extend our deepest condolences and aroha to Ian’s whānau at this challenging time. We have lost a warrior, a champion, an advocate and a storyteller. Moe mai rā e te rangatira, i tō moenga roa.
