In 1960, during his time as Secretary of Maori Affairs, Mr Hunn published the famous ‘Hunn Report’, a masterly review of the situation of the Maori people. At the same time, Mr Hunn put forward the idea for what later became the Maori Education Foundation.

A member of Te Arawa Maori Trust Board for the past 38 years, Mr Makiha was deputy chairman for two three-year terms and is at present a member of the board's finance committee and chairman of the emergency and marae committees. Chairman of the Tuhourangi tribal committee, he is also chairman of the Whakarewarewa Incorporation management committee.
