Maori History
Lois was born in Kawerau and is of English and Maori heritage. Her tribal affililations are Ngati Awa, Te Arawa
and Ngaiterangi iwi - three major Maori tribes in the Eastern and Bay of Plenty region.
From 2004 to 2012 Lois had advised and assisted iwi (tribes) and Maori designers on collectable items with Maori Art themes, which were officially released by the New Zealand Reserve Bank and New Zealand Post. The 2004 Pukaki, 2010 Heitiki and 2012 Heimatau gold coins are now considered to be amongst the rarest modern coins today. Nationally and internationally these coins are highly sought after.
