Presenter Profile - Murray Hemi

Director, Tahitanga Trust

Murray graduated with a Masters (Hons) in Natural Resource Management in the early 1990s and has been learning about the Māori environmental space philosophies and mātauranga ever since.

He says he's not an expert by any means – but forever a learner - he has met many people who were (or are).

Experiences with iwi, marae, farmers and growers, local councils, central government, and the dairy industry have shaped his thinking and appreciation of the world.

He knows enough now to know how little we do know, but also how each small fragment can have a resounding impact on his understanding and approach -

"Aahākoa he iti, he māpihi pounamu"
