The Ngāi Tahu Research Centre (NTRC) was established in August 2011 as a joint initiative between the tribe Ngāi Tahu and the University of Canterbury. The NTRC was established to be a leader in indigenous scholarship and to provide a centre for the intellectual capital and development of Ngāi Tahu. Although NTRC is still in its infancy it is a dynamic institution which in future years will play a strong role in both tribal and University life. This is evidenced by the number of publications already underway which will speak to the Centre's future credibility and status.
The NTRC is directed by Associate Professor Te Maire Tau, who has played an important role in preserving Ngāi Tahu's history and traditions. The NTRC is also home to a number of other people who contribute to the research capabilities of the Centre. These people include Anake Goodall, Sir Tipene O'Regan, Martin Fisher, Dr John Reid, and Dr Golda Varona.
