Ringi Brown

As the longest serving Trustee, Ringi is a loyal and dedicated Kaitiaki of the rohe of Ngāti Manuhiri. Residing full-time in Pākiri Ringi provides support to the whānau in the valley and understands their concerns especially regarding te taiao.

Ringi’s kind-hearted nature and positive ahua means he is a go-to person within the whānau and wider community for trusted advice and extensive knowledge.
In Ringi’s spare time you may see him riding the highways on his motorcycle or spending time with his children and grandchildren in the Wairarapa.
Ringi is a direct descended of Rahui Te Kiri and Tenetahi Pohuehue and his tupuna is their potiki, Ringi Paraone.
Wyvern Rosieur
Trustee
A skilled practitioner of traditional carving, Wyvern has dedicated many years to expressing cultural history throughout the rohe of Ngāti Manuhiri and has since passed that knowledge on to two of his tamariki and mokopuna to ensure that taonga is not lost.
Language programs, cultural events and resources are crucial components to ensure Ngāti Manuhiri whānau thrive and Wyvern is a stalwart supporter of these initiatives.
Wyvern was one of the original trustees of the MOKO Trust which was the predecessor to the Ngāti Manuhiri Settlement Trust, and has committed most of his life to ensure the mana of his tūpuna was acknowledged and upheld.
Wyvern is a direct descended of Rahui Te Kiri and Tenetahi Pohuehue and his tupuna is their eldest son Witaiawa.
