This week Lady Tureiti Moxon received an honorary doctorate from Waikato University for her outstanding contribution to the  health and well-being of New Zealanders. But that just scratches the surface: she's also chair of the National Urban Māori Authority, a lawyer who helped to settle her iwi's treaty claim and is an important voice in the delivery of Māori health care and the ongoing debate about the status of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
