Biography/History

Sir Albert Maori Kik (1931-1993) was a foundation member of the PANGU Pati and its first General Secretary. After independence he held the positions of the Minister of Lands, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, Foreign Affairs and Trade. The papers document some of his early industrial and political activities, including his involvement with the Kerema Welfare Society and in the formation of the PANGU Pati. They also evidence Sir Maori's concern with issues of social justice and equality for Papuans and New Guineans. His correspondence also documents aspects of Maori Kiki's private life, such as a land dispute with the Catholic Church and his love of Rugby Union.
