Local History Week calendar

Speaker: Dr Huhana Smith

Huhana Smith is the senior curator Mâori at Te Papa, as well as a practising artist and active environmentalist. Her passion for eco-restoration led Huhana to write her PhD on the subject. She spends much of her free time at weekends clearing and planting her local wetland, a project that started after she and fellow iwi members, (she is of Ngâti Tukorehe, Ngâti Raukawa descent), set up a trust to protect and maintain the local waterways.
