Tribute to Frank Winter :

Frank Winter (Ngāi Tahu) was a well-known elder and leader of his people.
One of the first to pay tribute was Tipene O'Regan who tells of the migration of Ngāti Irakehu, sub tribe of Frank Winter.

Kaikōrero: Tipene O'Regan. Whakapapa/history: Frank Winter was born about 1906 a member of the Ngāti Irakehu hapu, Banks Peninsula area. He was educated at Te Aute college, where he matriculated, and was dux in 1922. He worked for twenty years with the Māori Affairs department in Wellington and Gisborne. He resigned and joined the Public Affairs Association in Wellington as assistant general secretary, then deputy general secretary until he retired.
He became national secretary of the NZ Institute of Architects, and Registrar of Architects Education and Registration Board, and retired at the end of 1971.

He had been chairman of the Ngāi Tahu Trust Board for over twenty years, a term that had seen the Board thrive and gain stature and mana in its operation.
Frank held many more positions in various other operations and upon his death many people gathered at his home to pay their respects:
