Ngāti Porou
I kopoua a Kaiwhakawā Matua Caren Fox ki te Kōti Whenua Māori i te 1 o Oketopa 2000, ā, i muri iho i kopoua hei Kaiwhakawā Matua Tuarua i te 20 o Pēpuere 2010. I te 5 o Hūrae 2023, i kopoua a Kaiwhakawā Fox hei Kaiwhakawā Matua o te Kōti Whenua Māori. Ko Kaiwhakawā Matua Fox te wahine Māori tuatahi i kopoua hei Kaiwhakawā Matua. Ka whakamanahia hoki hei Hea o te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi i te 1 o Hepetema 2023.
Ko ia tētahi o ngā Kaiwhakawā e noho ana ki te Kōti Whenua Māori i te Takiwā o te Tairāwhiti, e noho ana mō ngā kēhi i Tūranga.
I mua i te kopounga hei Kaiwhakawā, ko Kaiwhakawā Judge Fox tētahi Pouako ā-ture ki te Whare Wānanga o Te Herenga Waka me te Pouako Matua ā-ture me te Kaiwhakahaere o ngā Akoranga Kiriwhakapōtae ki te Whare Wānanga o Waikato. I tua i tēnei, he rōia ia mō ngā kaikerēme Tiriti me ngā kiritaki whenua Māori. Ka riro i a ia te LLM i roto i te ture me te PhD e kapi ai te pūnaha ā-ture o Ngāti Porou.
He mātanga ki ngā matatika tangata ā-ao, ko Kaiwhakawā Matua Fox te Harkness Fellow ki Amerika mai i te tau 1991 ki te tau 1992 me tētahi Fellow Pacific i roto i te Mātauranga Matatika Tangata i kirimanatia e te Commonwealth Fund for Technical Co-operation 1997-1999. I whakawhiwhia ia ki te NZ Human Rights Commission 2000 Millennium Medal mō ana mahi e pā ana ki te matatika tangata.
Ko Kaiwhakawā Matua Fox te Mana Whakahaere hoki mō te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi mō ngā kerēme Ahumoana, ngā kerēme mō te Mana Kōkiri o Te Arawa me ngā Whakataunga take, ngā kerēme Wāhanga 1 ki Waenga o Te Ika a Māui, ngā kerēme mō Te Kōhanga Reo me ngā kerēme mō Te Rohe Pōtae.
