O’Regan enjoys being teacher
By
JANE DUNBAR
The chairman of the Ngai Tahu Maori Trust Board, Mr Tipene O’Regan, is enjoying an opportunity to be a teacher rather than an advocate.
Mr O’Regan is the University of Canterbury’s 1989 Visitor in History (Ahoraki Ruraka), and is giving lectures for a range of departments, such as sociology, geography, Maori studies and engineering. He tries also to find time for writing, as he is in the middle of a big paper for the Waitangi Tribunal, has two chapters to finish for a book on Maori and conservation for Victoria University, and is near completing a review article for the “New Zealand Journal of History.” Mr O’Regan has left his consulting business in Wellington to run without him for a while, but says that although his Canterbury lecturing is expensive for him, it is also an intellectual holiday. “My head is never far from Ngai Tahu and Maori issues but here I m dealing with them in a different way. I’m a teacher rather than an advocate, and I’m finding it stimulating to look at the issues from a different perspective.” -
