Emissary for the Confederation of Chiefs of Aotearoa (New Zealand)

Bryce Aldridge is essentially a public speaker and an educator who has spent a number of decades in a judiciary of Aotearoa New Zealand called The Waitangi Tribunal as a claimant providing evidence on numerous topics affecting indigenous people from Aotearoa encompassing the impacts socially, culturally, environmentally, economically and politically in a country with two distinct jurisdictions, one of cultural lore called Tikanga and the laws and legislation of the colonisers.

Bryces knowledge as Kaiarataki was handed down traditionally from elders whom had included him in the many journeys to find solutions, sadly many of these elders are no longer with us, his experience is extensive and his education is of a traditional cultural nature.

Bryce lives in rural far north Aotearoa on his ancestors land, he is focused on building a new nation utilising cultural practises in both his gardening techniques and in the way he shares his culture.
