Subject Notes
Waititi, Hoani Retimana, 1926 -1965,. Te Whanau-a-Apanui; teacher, educationalist, community leader
"In February 1944, aged 17 (but claiming to be 19), he joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force and began flying training. In February 1945 he transferred to the 28th New Zealand (Maori) Battalion and served in Italy. He then went with Jayforce to Japan and was discharged in October 1946.
He was chief examiner of Maori in the School Certificate examination, and worked on developing new teaching techniques. Co-operating with the Maori Language Advisory Committee, he wrote two volumes entitled Te rangatahi (1962;64). These language courses were to become the standard texts for learning Maori at all levels, including university, for decades. They avoided grammar rules, substituting a sustained use of increasingly complex grammatical constructions. Through a gradually expanded vocabulary and the adventures of their main character, Tamahae of Te Kaha, students were introduced to Maori rural life, expanding in Book 2 into the urban environment and the wider world".--abridged
