Tureiti Moxon
Tureiti Haromi Moxon, Lady Moxon (née Hawkins; born 1957) is a New Zealand Māori health leader and campaigner. Biography 
Moxon was born in Wairoa, Hawkes Bay, in 1957, the daughter of Te Muera and Margaret Hawkins. Her iwi are Ngāti Pāhauwera, Ngāti Kahungunu and Kāi Tahu. She grew up on a farm in Mōhaka as one of 12 children, and described her family as "very Anglican". At age 12 she received a scholarship from the Māori Education Foundation to attend Hukarere Girls' College. When she left school she joined a song and dance troupe of 60 young people in India. She then trained in early childhood education and later in law at Waikato University. She worked as a lawyer in the area of Treaty of Waitangi claims and settlements. In 2012, Moxon was part of the Ngāti Pāhauwera negotiating team who settled their historical treaty claims with the Crown. She is a claimant in a number of claims before the Waitangi Tribunal in relation to health, Oranga Tamariki and ACC. Moxon is currently the managing director of Te Kōhao Health in Hamilton, chair of the National Urban Māori Authority (NUMA), and is a Chartered Fellow with the Institute of Directors. In 2020, Moxon received the Te Tupu-ā-Rangi Award for Health and Science, for her dedication to improving the physical and mental wellbeing of New Zealanders at the Ngā Whetū o Matariki – Matariki Awards. Career 
Since 2002, Moxon has been the managing director of primary health provider Te Kōhao Health, a health, education, social and justice service provider in Hamilton servicing the wider Waikato region. She has grown it from 1,500 enrolled individual members to 8,400, and a staff of 234. In 2005, she and others applied to the Waitangi Tribunal, challenging inequities suffered by Māori in the public health system and seeking access to health data. In 2019, in response to the claim, a Waitangi Tribunal report said the Crown was to set up a stand-alone Māori health agency, and consider compensation for failing to improve Māori health over the past 20 years. By failing to set up and run the primary health system in a way that reduced the gap between Maori and non-Maori health outcomes. In 2021, Moxon called for the elimination of state care of children (tamariki) for not upholding Māori self-determination (tino rangatiratanga) over their families (whānau). She has said the Crown should consider compensating families who have been punished and traumatised by state intervention. Instead she called for Māori structures to provide the support to families where needed. In her capacity as NUMA chair she also said, "Given that 60 to 70 per cent of children in State care are Māori, National Urban Māori Authority continues to advocate that 60 to 70 per cent of the resources should go to Māori. In September 2021, the interim Māori Health Authority was formed with Moxon as a board member. In November 2022, an independent panel was appointed by the Police Commissioner, to investigate racism in the New Zealand Police, with Moxon as one of the panel members. Politics
Moxon stood as the Māori Party candidate for the Hamilton West electorate at the 2005 general election, gaining 379 votes to finish fifth in a 10-candidate race. At that election, she was ranked 25th on the Māori Party list, and was consequently not elected. In 2009, Moxon was the Māori Party electorate co-chair for the Tainui electorate. In the 2013 local-body elections, Moxon stood as an independent candidate for the Hamilton City Council for one of six seats representing the West Ward. Out of 23 candidates she finished 12th, with 3081 votes. In the 2020 general election, Moxon was a list candidate for the Māori Party, with a ranking of 11. With the Māori Party winning 1.2% of the vote, she was not elected to Parliament. Personal life 
Moxon is married to Anglican bishop Sir David Moxon, formerly the Archbishop of Canterbury's representative to the Holy See and director of the Anglican Centre in Rome. They met when he was a priest in Havelock North, about 1980. They both serve the tikanga Pākehā side of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. She became Lady Moxon when her husband was knighted in 2014. They have four adult children. References
