   On Thursday evening, Dame 1 Anne Salmond was named New Zealander of the Year, at a ceremony in Auckland.


  Dame Anne has won many awards for her books. She is a sponsor 2 of a project to encourage low income children, especially Maori and Pacific Islanders, to develop their talents. She was on the board of the Museum of New Zealand and was chairperson of the Historic 3 Places Trust for 6 years.
  She is Professor of Maori and Anthropology 4 at the University of Auckland and she is a writer. She has written 7 books. When she was a child, she was influenced by two famous Maori elders, Eruera and Amiria Stirling who lived near her. She wrote about them and about Maori life in early New Zealand. She then wrote about Pacific people and early European explorers including Captain Cook. Throughout her life she has tried to build bridges between Maori, Pacific and European cultures.
  She says she sees wonderful young people, full of talent, and this makes her feel that the future of our country is bright.
  To see a photo of her and of last year’s winners, go to the New Zealand awards website.
  Listen to February 17th 2012 and February 8th 2010 to hear about other New Zealanders of the Year.
