Author Biography

Liam Kokaʻua, Ngāti Makea Ārera, Rarotonga; Tāmaki Paenga Hira | Auckland War Memorial Museum

Liam Kokaʻua is of Ngāti Makea Ārera, Rarotonga, and traverses between Te Ao Māori and Indigenous Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa (Pacific Ocean) worldviews, which he does through his knowledge of languages, whakapapa (genealogy) and voyaging traditions and his research into Indigenous resource management practices. He has experience in nongovernmental organisations, local government and trust boards dealing with the integration of Western and Indigenous knowledge systems. Currently Liam is a project curator working on the development of a new natural environment and human impacts gallery underpinned by mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) that will open at Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum in 2025.
