The Depot would like to congratulate Hamish Keith and Gifford Jackson for receiving New Zealand Order of Merit Honours as part of the 2013 Queen’s Birthday Honours<\/a>.\u00a0The New Zealand Order of Merit<\/b> is an order of chivalry<\/a> established on 30 May 1996 by Elizabeth II<\/a>, Queen of New Zealand<\/a>, “for those persons who in any field of endeavour, have rendered meritorious service to the Crown and nation or who have become distinguished by their eminence, talents, contributions or other merits<\/em>” (-Wikipedia.com)<\/p>\n

Professor Piri Sciascia was also made Officer of the Order of New Zealand for services to Maori arts.<\/p>\n

Interestingly Piri and Hamish were both involved in the coordination of the 1984 exhibition Te Maori<\/em> which many refer to as a ‘milestone in the Maori cultural renaissance’.<\/p>\n

It is fantastic to see the work of these and many other significant New Zealanders acknowledged and their life work celebrated. The Depot would like to extend this celebration to everyday as their work as pioneers in their chosen fields continues to positively inform our cultural development and vernacular!
