A message from IITC Executive Director, Andrea Carmen: “Yesterday, we were informed that IITC Vice President Hinewirangi Kohu passed from this world to join her ancestors. She suffered a long illness with many struggles so we rejoice that she is now free of all that pain. At the same time we feel, together with her family, the Maori Nation, and the Indigenous world, great pain for this loss to IITC and to each of us personally. We will say much more later about this great soul, teacher and leader, but for now this is what I can say. I still feel her with me, and know I always will. We send prayers to her family and love and comfort to all.”
