Rob Tipa

Rob Tipa (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu) is a freelance journalist with more than forty years’ experience as a reporter and editor with metropolitan, community and farming publications. To reconnect with his Ngāi Tahu heritage, he researched a series of articles on traditional uses of New Zealand native plants that were on the Ngāi Tahu taonga plants list. This became a series of nearly fifty columns published in Te Karaka magazine over a period of ten years.
