Congratulations to Tāne Tamati
For those who are unaware, Tāne Tamati is the latest addition to our Hokonui Rūnanga Kaupapa Taiao team. Originally starting as one of our Summer kaimahi fieldworkers within the WaiMāori team Tāne has officially come on board as our environmental advisor.

Recently Tāne applied for an Instars Fellowship for the Freshwater Sciences 2023 conference held in Brisbane 3 – 7 June June . Not only was he accepted to attend and represent at this conference but was also given the opportunity to attend and represent at the 6th Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology conference, which will take place from 29 May – 1 June at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, and to be part of the 'Using Large Datasets to Effectively Communicate Ecological Findings' pre- Freshwater Sciences conference workshop.
This is an amazing achievement, and a great reflection on the skills and attributes that Tāne brings to his work. A huge congratulations from the Hokonui Rūnanga Kaupapa Taiao team, we look forward to hearing all about it.
Te Waipounamu U13-U17 Noho
Te Waipounamu U13-U17 Māori netball team enjoyed their time at the Hokonui Rūnanga and were lucky to meet and greet with the Southern Steel, who were in town on Saturday. The girls joined in on a training session with them, which was incredible and such an experience.
Not long now till Nationals! Keep up all the hard work girls and all the best!
