Kerekorio Manu Rangi (c. 1853/1855 – October 1867), also known as Manuraŋi Rokoroko He Tau and by his baptismal name Gregorio, was the last undisputed ‘ariki mau, or King of Easter Island. He died as a child and left no heir, which ended the ‘ariki mau dynasty.
Biography
Manu Rangi was born on Easter Island between c. 1853 and c. 1855, a member of the Rapa Nui people. He was from the royal lineage of the ‘ariki mau (King of Easter Island), which, according to Polynesian belief, "went back to the gods themselves." According to Alfred Metraux, he was the grandson of Ngaꞌara and likely the son of ‘ariki mau Tepito, as well as a cousin of a previous king, Maurata [fr]; however, in Steven Roger Fischer's book Island at the End of the World, he listed Manu Rangi as a son of Maurata.
