The challenge has been laid for one descendant of Te Arawa, who will attend the Toastmasters International Speech Contest.
This afternoon, Kingi Biddle presented his skills in front of his people at Te Papaiouru Marae in Ōhinemutu.
It will be the second time Biddle represents NZ in the international contest, which kicks off on the 22nd of this month in Cincinnati, Ohio.
