Mrs Rotu Rangi Mrs Rotu Rangi, a leading Maori social worker, has died at her home at Ruatoki, aged 79. A daughter of the late Mr Numia Kereru, a leader of the Tuhoe people, she was educated at Hukarere Maori Girls' College, Napier. When she returned home she assisted European mission workers to establish the Church of England faith among her people at Ruatoki. So successful was her work that in 1905 a mission house was established next to the Ruatoki School. Later a church was built on the marae. Mrs Rangi was an active member of many organisations throughout the district. She is survived by her husband, the Rev. Wharetini Rangi, and three sons.
