Catherine Murupaenga-Ikenn (Ngāti Kurī, Te Rarawa; LLM) is a 2005 Indigenous Fellow, and 2020-21 Senior Indigenous Fellow, of the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. She was a member of the Independent Constitutional Transformation team that produced Matike Mai Aotearoa (published in 2016), and served as an elected negotiator for the Ngāti Kurī historical treaty claims settlement. Active in civic justice and environmental campaigns, Catherine is one of two facing charges for participating in the Te Waka Hourua-led Te Tiriti artivism action in 2023, at Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington. Now a grandmother, her focus is increasingly metaphysical dimensions of activism.
