These awards were introduced in 2010 to support exchange activities meeting one or more of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga’s research themes, as stated on their website at www.maramatanga.ac.nz/research/research-themes

In the past year Fulbright-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga exchange awards have supported Jacinta Ruru (Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Maniapoto) from the University of Otago to research indigenous challenges to Western property law at Lewis & Clark College and Arizona State University, and Natalie Coates (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Hine, Tūhoe, Te Arawa, Ngāti Tūwharetoa) from Whakatāne to complete a Master of Laws degree in human rights and indigenous law at Harvard University. Travel Awards have been granted to health professional Pefi Kingi, Cindy Kiro (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Kahu, Ngāti Hine) from Massey University and Te Kawehau Hoskins (Ngāti Hau, Ngāpuhi) from the University of Auckland to present their respective research at various conferences and universities in the United States.
