“The James Henare Research Centre is Waipapa Taumata Rau’s leading Māori transdisciplinary research centre. Our Centre co-designs and co-creates excellent research with Te Tai Tokerau flaxroots communities. We envisage a future underpinned by the transformative values of Te Ao Māori. Our research enables our community partners to exercise mana motuhake and lead decisions that affect their social, environmental, and economic wellbeing. We are inspired and guided by the words and life of Tā Hemi Henare.”
