Iritana's story | Puhikura | New Zealand Police
Puhikura, New Zealand Police’s new recruitment campaign is a candid documentary series championing the power of wāhine Māori through the gift of their stories as taonga.
With a shared compassion for people, the whenua, and the sustenance of communities, five wāhine reflect on what calls them forward and holds them back as they consider a career with the NZ Police.
This is Iritana's story.
Iritana (Taranaki) is used to focusing on goals, and working with others to achieve them. Playing rugby for New Zealand has been a source of satisfaction and pride.
Coming back from injury gave Iritana time to reflect with whānau - to think about what else she’d like to do with her passion for people. Now she’s looking ahead, keen to apply her strength and skills to a career with the police.

About the production of the Puhikura series
Puhikura is possible first and foremost through the generosity, pono and aroha of the five wāhine Māori who shared their stories.
The creation of Puhikura was led by wāhine Māori in key roles of creative director, director, and editor. The series was commissioned by NZ Police, and supported by the creative and production agency Wrestler.
From inception to completion, production of Puhikura has embraced and followed kaupapa Māori, informed by tikanga and with the intent to elevate wāhine Māori through due respect and care for every person, and place, and for tirohanga Māori - Māori worldviews.
