Erana Te Haeata Brewerton

 Erana Te Haeata Brewerton joined Te Mātāwai Board in October 2026. Erana was appointed as a Manutea o Te Ataarangi after devoting over 40 years to the reo revitalisation movement. She’s also held leadership and governance roles at a national level in the adult community education sector.

With a background in tertiary teaching and management, Erana has dedicated her career to strengthening te reo Māori and championing the communities in which it thrives. Her work has supported iwi, hapū initiatives focusing on Māori language speaker communities throughout Aotearoa across to the Māori diaspora communities of Australia.  Internationally Erana has worked with other indigenous peoples including the aynu mosir of Japan, sharing knowledge and supporting language revitilisation initiatives where their language has been heavily impacted by assimilation processes.  

Kia kore koe e ngaro taku reo rangatira. Nā, kia nui te reo ōpaki o ia whakapaparanga hai tauawhiawhi i te reo ūkaipo
