Peter Adds is Wellington-based academic, treaty negotiator and former head of Victoria University of Wellington's Te Kawa a Māui/School of Māori Studies.[1] He is of Te Ati Awa descent. With a background in anthropology and archaeology,[2] he has interests in Treaty of Waitangi Settlements,[3] indigenous astronomy, Māori development, and international indigenous issues.[2]
Adds is the founding head of the Māori Association of Social Science,[3] and has campaigned for a less government-sided view of New Zealand history to be taught in schools.[4][5][6]
A 2014 thesis by Dougal Austin supevised by Adds and based on a survey of the collection of hei-tiki at Te Papa Tongarewa and early-contact examples in foreign collections, found that the mana of hei tiki is derived from the "agency of prolonged ancestral use" and stylistically was "highly developed [...] from the outset to conform to adze-shaped pieces of pounamu."[7]
