Hector Busby
Hector Busby, (born 1 August 1932) (also known as Heke-nuku-mai-nga-iwi Puhipi), is a Māori navigator and traditional ship (''waka'') builder in New Zealand. He is recognised as a leading figure in the revival of traditional Polynesian navigation and ocean voyaging using wayfinding techniques.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Waka Tapu Canoes )〕
He has built 26 traditional ''waka'', including the double-hulled ''Te Aurere'' which has sailed over 30,000 nautical miles in the Pacific including Hawaii, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Norfolk Island. In December 2012, ''Te Aurere'' and ''Ngahiraka Mai Tawhiti'' (another waka built by Busby) reached Rapa Nui after a 5000-nautical-mile, four-month voyage from New Zealand. The two waka then made the return journey to New Zealand, landing at Aurere Beach in Doubtless Bay in May 2013.
Busby is of mixed Pākehā and Māori heritage. He is from the Māori tribes of Te Rarawa and Ngāti Kahu.

Busby received the New Zealand Commemoration Medal in 1990. In the 1994 Queen's Birthday Honours, he was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire, for services to the Māori people.〔(''London Gazette'' (supplement), No. 53697, 10 June 1994 ). Retrieved 11 January 2013.〕 In the 2014 New Year Honours, Busby was named an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM).
