Te Hononga Pūkenga

New Fulbright-NPM Graduates Announced

Continuing a proud tradition of investing in and supporting Māori graduate scholarship to create new dynamic international opportunities, Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) is pleased to announce its most recent award recipients, in partnership with Fulbright New Zealand.

The Fulbright-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Graduate Award is granted to promising New Zealand graduate students, in order for them to undertake one year of postgraduate study or research at a US institution in the field of Indigenous development.

Seeding Research Excellence

Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga is once again developing new seed and scope research projects that contribute to our research themes:

- Whai Rawa
- Te Tai Ao
- Mauri ora
- Te Reo me Ngā Tikanga Māori

We are looking to develop and commence projects that contribute to our outcomes and vision, by providing a small contestable fund through our network that will initiate excellent research that has transformative potential.

Te Takarangi reaches milestone

On the 28th June Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga and the Royal Society Te Apārangi acknowledged the passing of the halfway mark of Te Takarangi - our celebration of 150 Māori publications.

The 75th book recognised was Māori Made Easy: For Everday Learners of the Māori Language by NPM Board Member, Associate Professor Scotty Morrison.

In the wake of the recent passing of distinguished Māori language scholar Professor John Moorfield, this book highlights the work of the next generation to support te reo Māori revitalisation.
