Shown here at the launch of Michael King’s book, Moriori: a people rediscovered, are Rīwai (left), Charles (second from left) and Alfred Preece (right). Alfred (Bunty) Preece was chair of the Chatham Islands County Council for 16 years. Rīwai became Anglican minister for the islands, and Charlie played a prominent role in the assertion of Moriori political, economic and moral rights.
