3 Human Rights Commission Acknowledgments The Commission acknowledges all the courageous leaders and community members who, in seeking justice and equality, fought for the kaupapa of tino rangatiratanga, anti-racism and indigenous justice over many generations. It acknowledges the Tangata Whenua Caucus and Ahi Kaa for their work on developing and writing Maranga Mai! The Commission acknowledges its former Pou Ārahi, Tricia Keelan, who led Ahi Kaa throughout the crucial development and writing of Maranga Mai! The Commission also acknowledges those who reviewed drafts of Maranga Mai! including the Pou Tikanga of the National Iwi Chairs Forum, and everyone who assisted in the research, writing, and editing of the report. Special thanks to the Caucus chairs Tina Ngata and Dr Rawiri Taonui who both led the Caucus contribution to Maranga Mai! alongside distinguished Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Hilda HalkyardHarawira, Katie Murray and Kingi Snelgar, all of whom generously shared their time and valuable expertise and were interviewed for Maranga Mai! E ngā rangatira, he mihi nunui ki a koutou katoa. Lastly, and with immense gratitude, the Commission acknowledges and reflects on the contribution of the late Dr Moana Jackson whose humility, courage, intelligence, and unwavering commitment to Indigenous justice, was exceeded only by the immense aroha he held for his whānau and mokopuna. He was interviewed for Maranga Mai! and passed during the finalisation of the report. In appreciation of Moana: Te matai o te ture, he māngai, he kauwhata! E te tōtara haemata, te rākau tapu o te wao nui a Tāne. Te uri ō Hawea, ō Poporo, ō Hinerupe, ō Rongomaiwahine, ō Ngāti Kuripakiaka, e tangimomotu nei te ngākau mōu. Takahia atu rā, te ara whanaunga a o mātua tīpuna, haere, okioki atu ki tua o Paerau. Kua ngū tō reo whakatēnātēnā i te Ture. Kua ngū tō reo whakatinana i tōna kupu. Waiho mai ko ō mātauranga pūrākau hei tikitiki mō tō iwi Māori. Haere i runga i ngā Maunga kōrero, ngā pae Maunga a ō tupuna e moe nei i te whenua, rātou kua whetūrangitia, rātou kua ngaro ki te pō. Mahue mai tō whānau, tō iwi Māori, me tō rangatiratanga hei whakaruruhau mō mātou katoa. Kia noho mai tō mana-motuhake hei korowai i a mātou me ō mātou mahi katoa. E te rangatira ō tawhito, e moe, e moe, haere rā koe, e oki.
