Mr R. Te T. Kingi A chief of the Arawa tribe, Mr Raniera Te Tawhiti Kingi—widely known as Dan King—became an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.). At the age of 30, Mr Kingi was appointed Secretary of the Arawa Trust Board when it was inaugurated in 1924. He remained in office for 21 years, until ill health, the result of his service in World War I, forced him to give up the job. When corporate control of Maori lands was initiated, Mr Kingi became chairman of the Warenga Incorporation. He was also involved in prepatory work for the formation of the Ngati-Whakaue Incorporation, now the biggest incorporation north of Gisborne. He is at the moment serving as a member of the Arawa Trust Board.
