Pae Herenga Study
Gratitude to Te Ārai Kāhui Kaumātua Advisory Group
With deep gratitude…
Te Ārai Kāhui Kaumātua Advisory Group Te Ārai Palliative Care and End of Life Research Group
The Pae Herenga team is very grateful to the Te Ārai Kāhui Kaumātua Advisory Group for their guidance and support. We would like to acknowledge Matua Rawiri Wharemate for initiating the idea for this research project with full support from the Te Ārai Kāhui Kaumātua Advisory Group. This rōpū has provided consistent leadership and cultural advice across the project. Of special mention, we would like to acknowledge Whaea Whio Wharemate Hansen and Matua Walter Thompson. Whio and Walter have supported the Pae Herenga study in numerous ways; they travelled with the interview team on field trips, attended three digital story telling workshops, assisted with hui and led te reo Māori interviews.
E ngā rangatira, he mihi nui ki a koutou. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
Ngā mihi aroha,
Dr Tess Moeke-Maxwell (Principal Investigator).

Tess Huia Moeke-Maxwell
Kia ora, my name is Tess Huia Moeke-Maxwell (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Makaurau & Ngāti Porou). Following on from my post-doctoral investigation (2009 - 2012) on Māori end of life experiences, I’ve worked in the School of Nursing, University of Auckland, as a Research Fellow and a founding member of the Te Ārai Palliative Care and End of Life Research Group. In 2017 I was awarded a project grant from the Health Research Council of New Zealand to lead the Pae Herenga study. The Kāhui Kaumātua Rōpū for Te Ārai asked me to lead a study to gather information about the traditional care customs whānau manaaki (family carers) use to care for their kaumātua (older person) at the end of their life, and to share this with Māori whānau who will be called on to provide care to their kaumātua. We also wanted to share this information with Hospice New Zealand, palliative care professionals as well as health and social care professionals more broadly. We are grateful to Hospice NZ for supporting this study since its inception.
The Pae Herenga study is important as there is an anticipated rise in older Māori deaths over the next thirty years; we need to prepare ourselves for the privilege of caring for our kaumātua. On behalf of my team, I would like to thank each and every person and whānau who took part in the Pae Herenga study. Without everyone’s support we would not have been able to complete this piece of work.
He rau ringa oti ai.
Many hands make light work.
