Edward Te Rangihiwinui "Hiwi" Tauroa {{postnominals|country=NZL|CMG|JP}} (29 May 1927 – 11 December 2018)[1] was a New Zealand rugby union player and coach, school principal, and civil servant of Māori descent.

Early life

Tauroa, who was of Ngāpuhi descent, was born in Okaiawa, near Hawera in Taranaki in 1927,[2] the son of a Methodist minister.[3] His parents moved frequently, and Tauroa began his school life at Waima in the Hokianga. From there he went to Hawera Technical High School, where he won a scholarship to study at Auckland University College.[3]

Teaching

Through tertiary study at both Auckland and Massey Agricultural College, Tauroa graduated in 1952 with a Bachelor of Agricultural Science,[4] before beginning papers for a Diploma in Education. After graduating he taught at various schools throughout the North Island.[3]

Tauroa served as the principal of Wesley College from 1968, before becoming the principal of Tuakau College in 1974, a post he held until 1979.[2] He was the first Māori to be appointed head of a secondary school.[2]

Rugby union

Tauroa was originally best known for his rugby union career, and played for New Zealand Māori from 1951 to 1954.[1] He continued his interest in rugby in later life, becoming coach of the Counties Rugby Union in the 1970s,[1] and leading them to the National Provincial Championship title in 1979.[5]

Public and political life

In 1979, Tauroa was appointed New Zealand's Race Relations Conciliator.[1] In this capacity, he promoted the concept of educating Pākehā in traditional Māori customs and culture, instigating marae courses for state and private corporations and encouraging large businesses to adopt a more multicultural mindset.[2] During his time as Race Relations Conciliator, New Zealand faced major civil unrest caused by the 1981 Springbok Tour.[1] Tauroa was heavily involved in New Zealand's anti-apartheid campaign during this time.[1] Tauroa was also heavily involved in fostering links between Māori and China, establishing with Rewi Alley the New Zealand–China Māori Friendship Association in 1984.[1]

Tauroa retired in 1985, moving to the small Northland town of Kaeo.[5] Here he was appointed the chair of Te Rūnanga o Whaingaroa,[1] a position which he held until 2000.[5] At the {{NZ election link year|1987}} general election, he stood unsuccessfully for Parliament in the Eden electorate for the National Party.[2]

Tauroa also served as chairman of Te Māngai Pāho and the New Zealand Sports Foundation, and served on the board of many educational and Māori organisations, among them the United Nations Indigenous Peoples Trust.[1] He also authored several books on the Treaty of Waitangi and Māori culture,[5] most notably Te Marae: A guide to customs and protocol (1986; Reed Methuen), which was co-written with his wife Patricia. Tauroa was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in the 1994 New Year Honours.[2]

Death

Tauroa died on 11 December 2018 at his home in Waipuna, Whangaroa, aged 91. He was survived by Patricia (née Wilson), his wife of 60 years, and their six children, along with numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.[1]
