Wira Gardiner

Ko Tā Harawira Tira Gardiner (4 o Maramaiwa i te tau 1943 – 17 o Maramatoru i te tau 2022), ko Wira Gardiner te ingoa māori rawa o ia, tētahi rūtene kānara ki Ngāti Tumatauenga o Aotearoa, kaimahi kāwanatanga, me kaituhi, nō Aotearoa ia. No Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Pikiao, Whakatōhea, me Te Whānau-ā-Apanui ōna iwi. I whānau mai ia i te tau 1943 ki Whakatāne, ā, i tipu ana ia ki kōra hoki. E kī a ētahi tāngata, he ōrite ia me ētahi tino kaiarataki Māori o tēnei rautau, me kō Ranginui Walker me kō Moana Jackson. He kaitautoko manawanui o Te Taraipiunara o te Tiriti o Waitangi ia, ā, he 38 ngā tāu, i mahi ia i te mahi te kaitohu tuatahi o te taraipiunara. Whaihoki, ua i tāoki atu i te hokowhitu i te tau 1983, he nui atu te tūnga o Gardiner i a ngā hōia Māori katoa. Kāore e tōna aroha mō te tikanga Māori e mimiti; i mahi ia i te mahi he kaiwhakahaere matua o te Puni Kōkiri, Te Mangai Paho, Te Rākau Whakamarumaru, me te Te Ohu Kaimoana hoki. Kō Hekia Parata tōna hoa wahine; i hono rāua i te tekau tau mai i 1990. I mahi ia i te mahi he kaiwhakahaere matua taupua o Orangi Tamariki mai i te tau 2017 āpānoa 2017; i tāoki ia i tēnei umanga nō te mea he tino māuiui ia. I mate ia i te tau 2022 ki tōna kainga ki Turanga-nui-a-Kiwa; e 78 ngā tau tōna ora.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]
