Hana Te Hemara (1940 \u2013 1999) was one of the founding members of Ng\u0101 Tamatoa.<\/p>

She was a prominent M\u0101ori leader and activist who was passionate about the revival of the M\u0101ori language.<\/p>

Her name and her embodiment as a person is the inspiration behind the I am Hana project.<\/p>

Hana (Te Atiawa, Ng\u0101ti Raukawa, Ngai Tahu) was the seventh of 12 children, born in Kaipakopako (Bell Block) and initially educated in Waitara, Taranaki. Her wh\u0101nau moved to Mangakino (central North Island) along with many other wh\u0101nau from within Taranaki, where her father Apera Heta William Te Hemara worked building the dams at Karapiro, Arapuni, Waipapa and Whakamaru.<\/p>

Within that M\u0101ori community she was raised with the values her mother Ruihi _OXY_OPENING_BRACKET_Lucy_OXY_CLOSING_BRACKET_ nee Goffe epitomised, that of upholding your independence while supporting your wh\u0101nau. Hana carried these traits into her marriage with Syd Jackson where she became the sole income earner for the wh\u0101nau working at the Auckland Telephone Exchange while her husband completed his Masters in Political Science at the University of Auckland. As her social consciousness evolved during a time of urban M\u0101ori growth and upheaval, her natural instincts of whanaungatanga expanded into the wellbeing of Te Ao M\u0101ori (the M\u0101ori world). This culiminated in herself and Syd aligning with other like-minded M\u0101ori and led to the founding of Ng\u0101 Tamatoa<\/a> in the 1970s.<\/p>[\/oxy_rich_text][\/ct_div_block_2][ct_div_block_2

Hana was also at the forefront of a number of other important M\u0101ori kaupapa in relation to the M\u0101ori Arts & Crafts movement, M\u0101ori fashion, MWWL and M\u0101ori tourism and business. She was a key part of the Tu Tangata programme to grow future M\u0101ori leaders in the early 1980\u2019s working alongside other notable leaders of the time such as Sir Howard Morrison, Sir Tamati Reedy, Kara Puketapu, and Dame Georgina Kirby.<\/p>

There were times when her role as a M\u0101ori woman leader was challenged and her political stance and actions saw her demonised by the media, general public and even her own community.\u00a0 <\/span>But she always presented herself with humility and grace, never letting the criticism or difficult times deflect her from the responsibility of ensuring the rights of her people were always at the forefront of leaders in the M\u0101ori community or in government.<\/p>

Syd Jackson and Hana were married in 1961.\u00a0 <\/span>Syd was also a notable M\u0101ori activist, leader and trade unionist. Together they raised two children, Pura Jackson and Ramari Jackson-Paniora. Hana passed away on 10 October 1999, aged 59, from cervical cancer.<\/p>[\/oxy_rich_text][ct_div_block_2 ct_sign_sha256='33db279e53126bd6fcdca894b2a25432fe26ff94983db777bdf4f31f3e0e2f7b' ct_options='{\"ct_id\":69,\"ct_parent\":67,\"selector\":\"div_block-69-21\",\"original\":{\"image_type\":\"2\",\"attachment_size\":\"full\",\"width-unit\":\"%\",\"width\":\"100\",\"display\":\"flex\",\"flex-direction\":\"row\"},\"nicename\":\"Div (#45)\",\"activeselector\":false,\"media\":{\"phone-portrait\":{\"original\":{\"padding-bottom\":\"0\"}},\"phone-landscape\":{\"original\":{\"flex-direction\":\"column\",\"display\":\"flex\"}}},\"ct_depth\":\"2\"}'][ct_div_block_3 ct_sign_sha256='d62bdc27a28863c3bfc735a4c77aa5d4b8636dc8e025417bd105b67250ffbd5b' ct_options='{\"ct_id\":70,\"ct_parent\":69,\"selector\":\"div_block-70-21\",\"original\":{\"image_type\":\"2\",\"attachment_size\":\"full\",\"width-unit\":\"%\",\"width\":\"50\",\"align-items\":\"flex-start\",\"justify-content\":\"center\",\"flex-direction\":\"row\",\"display\":\"flex\"},\"nicename\":\"Div (#59)\",\"activeselector\":false,\"media\":{\"tablet\":{\"original\":{\"width\":\"100\",\"width-unit\":\"%\"}}},\"ct_depth\":\"3\"}'][ct_image ct_sign_sha256='e7eeeae21689b0d0d0a5fcfd3141a6d5b7f8c6aa834ac89d7999aa08ea3ce213' ct_options='{\"ct_id\":71,\"ct_parent\":70,\"selector\":\"image-71-21\",\"original\":{\"image_type\":\"2\",\"attachment_size\":\"medium\",\"attachment_id\":83,\"attachment_height\":300,\"attachment_width\":300,\"attachment_url\":\"https:\/\/iamhana.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Hine-halo-copy-2-300x300.png\",\"height\":\"170\"},\"nicename\":\"Image (#61)\",\"ct_depth\":4}'][\/ct_image][\/ct_div_block_3][ct_div_block_3 ct_sign_sha256='cf1a7bc3a9c20f43057daa2f4a030af9c46c8efe5fa930cfefa387c03adf5d49' ct_options='{\"ct_id\":72,\"ct_parent\":69,\"selector\":\"div_block-72-21\",\"original\":{\"image_type\":\"2\",\"attachment_size\":\"full\",\"width-unit\":\"%\",\"width\":\"50\",\"justify-content\":\"center\",\"align-items\":\"center\",\"background-color\":\"color(1)\",\"text-align\":\"left\",\"padding-top\":\"30\",\"padding-bottom\":\"30\",\"padding-right\":\"5\"},\"nicename\":\"Div (#46)\",\"activeselector\":false,\"media\":{\"tablet\":{\"original\":{\"height-unit\":\"%\",\"height\":\"100\",\"width\":\"100\",\"width-unit\":\"%\"}},\"phone-portrait\":{\"original\":{\"width\":\"100\",\"width-unit\":\"%\"}}},\"ct_depth\":\"3\"}'][ct_div_block_4 ct_sign_sha256='a1acef81974390c1c5e10e503756a301045b37e59dbbed738a9b371de16575ad' ct_options='{\"ct_id\":73,\"ct_parent\":72,\"selector\":\"div_block-73-21\",\"original\":{\"image_type\":\"2\",\"attachment_size\":\"full\",\"justify-content\":\"center\",\"text-align\":\"left\",\"flex-direction\":\"row\",\"display\":\"flex\",\"padding-top\":\"0\",\"padding-bottom\":\"0\",\"padding-right\":\"30\"},\"nicename\":\"Div (#51)\",\"activeselector\":false,\"ct_depth\":\"4\"}'][ct_fancy_icon ct_sign_sha256='bdc521f2c1f866d969d51954649b9dca232590df02b8e584351e19165395bd25' ct_options='{\"ct_id\":74,\"ct_parent\":73,\"selector\":\"fancy_icon-74-21\",\"original\":{\"icon-id\":\"FontAwesomeicon-quote-left\",\"image_type\":\"2\",\"attachment_size\":\"full\",\"icon-color\":\"#000000\"},\"nicename\":\"Icon (#35)\",\"classes\":{\"0\":\"quote-icon\"},\"media\":{\"phone-landscape\":{\"original\":{\"icon-size\":\"30\",\"margin-top\":\"10\"}}},\"ct_depth\":5}'][\/ct_fancy_icon][ct_text_block ct_sign_sha256='bb3de46b694856be25a313f7091b8833979e7eb470b875f24d8e35bdc23fa154' ct_options='{\"ct_id\":75,\"ct_parent\":73,\"selector\":\"text_block-75-21\",\"original\":{\"image_type\":\"2\",\"attachment_size\":\"full\",\"color\":\"#000000\"},\"nicename\":\"Text (#36)\",\"activeselector\":false,\"classes\":{\"0\":\"quote-text\"},\"ct_depth\":5}']Hana\u2019s legacy continues through her children, mokopuna, nieces, nephews and wider wh\u0101nau.
