The one & only, Ms Hinewirangi!!!!!!

Hinewirangi Kohu-Morgan was one of the original advisors in the development of the Mauri Ora Programme. Her expertise in waiata, pakiwaitara and tikanga Māori was invaluable.

She went on to record all pakiwaitara featured in the programme as well as the 'Live It!' series. That latter, gave practical insight into how cultural aspects from information contained within each kete could be implemented into every day life.

Hinewirangi supervised and co-ordinated Mauri Ora waiata albums, Waiata for Hui Gatherings, Waiata Tawhito and Songs of Liberation. Again the latter was based upon her selection, links with composers and singers and recollections of their use.

Today Hinewirangi continues her work in education delivering programmes in prisons, speaking at a variety of conferences (national & international) and supporting initiatives in early childhood.
