Who is Ngāti Mutunga?
The late Miriama Evans is a former graduate, lecturer, Council Member, a voluntary external member of the Council’s Te Aka Matua Committee and Hunter Fellow of Victoria University of Wellington.

The scholarship also recognises her belief in the value of higher education for Ngāti Mutunga and Māori development generally.
