Rangiputangatahi Mawhete {{post-nominals|country=NZL|OBE|size=85%}} (4 March 1880 – 24 July 1961), born as William Arthur Moffatt and commonly known as Rangi Mawhete, was a New Zealand land agent, interpreter and politician.

Early life

Of Māori descent, he identified with the Muaūpoko and Rangitāne iwi. He was born in Tiakitahuna, Manawatu/Horowhenua, New Zealand on 4 March 1880.[1] He was a grandson of the Rangitane chief Te Aweawe, and educated at Te Aute College.

Political career

He unsuccessfully stood for Western Maori; in {{NZ election link year|1914}} with an unknown political affiliation (of six candidates, he came fourth),[2] in 1922 as an Independent, and in 1925 for Labour.[1] He organised a 1931 meeting between Ratana and Labour and organised the 1932 Māori Labour conference. In 1935 he warned against an exclusive Ratana-Labour alliance as dividing rather than uniting Māori.[3]

He was a member of the Legislative Council for two terms from 9 March 1936 to 8 March 1950.[4]

In the 1959 Queen's Birthday Honours, Mawhete was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for services to the Māori people.[5]
