Putiputi Reremoana Mackey (née McClutchie,[1] also Stevens,[2] 25 September 1940–14 April 2023)[3] was a Māori teacher and arts supporter from New Zealand.
She taught in the 19070s at Wellington East Girls' College,[4] and was an officer of the National Association for the Teaching of Māori in 1982.[5]
When Bishop Justin Duckworth was installed as 11th Bishop of Wellington in 2012, she was the kai-karanga who called the congregation into the cathedral.[6]
At a kapa haka event at Te Papa in 2023 after her death, she was described as "at the heart of Taikura Kapa Haka for many years as a founding member of the He Kura Te Tangata Trust."[7]
She was awarded the Queen's Service Medal in the 2008 New Year Honours, "For services to Māori performing arts and Māori",[8][9] and in 2023 she was posthumously given the Te Papa Tongarewa Rongomaraeroa Award by Te Papa, the national museum.[10]
She married Stanton Mackey in May 1964.[2]
