New Year Honours: North Shore's Dame Anne Salmond awarded New Zealand's highest royal honour
How does one sum up a distinguished career upon being awarded New Zealand's highest royal honour?
“It’s always been this huge adventure,” Dame Anne Salmond says of her career as an anthropologist, environmentalist and multi award-winning author, unable to settle on a particular highlight.
Salmond's work has been recognised with a multitude of awards and honours.
Despite this, Salmond, a resident of Stanley Point, said she was stunned and overwhelmed to receive a letter telling her she had been named a Member of the Order of New Zealand for services to New Zealand in the 2021 New Year Honours.
