Ko Judyth Hilton tōku ingoa. I am married to Alistair Hilton and am the proud mother of seven tamariki, with fourteen mokopuna and four mokomoko. I am the mokopuna of Iraia Palmer rāua ko Kawhena Ngawaka, and the daughter of Fanny Palmer rāua ko Robert McGee. My whakapapa and whānau connections strongly shape my commitment to our people and our moana.

I have been involved in iwi, hapu, and marae affairs since childhood, attending hui alongside my whānau. I previously served as Chairperson of the Trust Board before living in Australia for over ten years. Since returning home three years ago, I have re-committed to serving our people and currently serve on the Kawa Marae Trust Board.

I hold a Bachelor of Health Science in Midwifery and have over 30 years’ experience working alongside whānau, primarily supporting home births. As Pou Moana Trustee, I bring honesty, integrity, courage and the confidence to speak plainly, guided by my belief that, “We have come too far to not keep going”.

Ko Miraka Davies tōku ingoa. He pōtiki ahau nā Robert rāua ko Gail Davies, mokopuna hoki nā Aunty Renie rāua ko Uncle Gordon. My whakapapa and lived experience anchor my commitment to protecting the unity, integrity and future of our iwi.

I have stood alongside our people through some of our most challenging times. Through kotahitanga, we overcame those challenges and reclaimed our mana whakahaere. Having witnessed both the cost of division and the strength of unity, I stand firmly for a united Trust Board that works collectively with purpose and heart.

Today, we are seeing the benefits of that unity, employment opportunities for whānau, meaning wānanga and our uri returning home to the motu. As Pou Whakapapa Trustee, I am deeply committed to nurturing these gains, honouring the aspirations of our tūpuna, and ensuring our people and our island continue to thrive for generations to come.
