Quack Pirihi

Quack Pirihi (They/Them) is a dedicated taiohi Māori and founder of Mana Āniwaniwa, established in 2023, a transformative initiative focused on preventing and ending suicide within Takatāpui and Queer communities through wānanga that engage and uplift all whānau.

With a deep passion for empowering whānau to embrace their mana motuhake and restore tino rangatiratanga, Quack has become a powerful advocate for Pro-Māori initiatives and practices.

Their advocacy extends to global platforms, including their recent participation with Greenpeace Aotearoa in Jamaica to protest Deep Sea Mining.

We commend Quack for their unwavering commitment and heartfelt efforts in supporting the wellbeing and resilience of our communities. Mauri Ora!
