Homeland
SIS PETER BUCK (Te Rangi Hiroa), Director of the Bishop Museum, Honolulu, arrived in New Zealand on January 25, to attend the Pacific Science Congress. He was making his first visit to his homeland for 14 years.
He could not say how long he would remain in New Zealand —but sufficiently long to attend an investiture in March, at the invitation of the Governor-General of New Zealand.
Sir Peter was knighted in 1946.
As far as his becoming an American citizen was concerned, Sir Peter said that the US Senate had taken no further action on the special Bill that was neces sary, and, for his part, having made his gesture to the American people, he is now content to remain a British citizen.
