Diana Anderson
Diana is a weaver, based in Rotorua.
Tribal affiliation: Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki, Ngai Tai, Ngati Porou, Ngai Tahu
Like many weavers I hold a multitude of positions - wife, mother, parent helper, taxi, treasurer for Te Raranga ki Rotorua and Mareikura Mahi Tuku Iho to name a few. I reside in Rotorua.
I am also a full-time student completing year one of a two-year Masters Degree in Education, focusing on Maori indigenous knowledge and education sustainability.
Although I have been a weaver for some years, the depth of knowledge gained in weekly raranga classes with Whaea Matekino Lawless is invaluable to me.
