	Apirana Ngata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ngata was raised in a Māori environment, speaking the Māori language, but his father also ensured that Ngata learned about the Pakeha world, believing that this understanding would be of benefit to Ngati Porou.
		Ngata performed well, and his academic results were enough to win him a scholarship to Canterbury University College (now the University of Canterbury), where he studied political science and law.
		Ngata was also heavily involved in the protection and advancement of Māori culture among Māori themselves, giving particular attention to promoting the haka, poi dancing, and traditional carving.

	NGATA, Sir Apirana Turupa - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		Apirana Turupa Ngata was born on 3 July 1874 at Kawaka, commonly known as Te Araroa, near East Cape.
		Ngata received his early education at the Waiomatatini Maori School and, at the age of 10, went to Te Aute College, where the headmaster was John Thornton, a devout Anglican Churchman and an outstanding classics scholar.
		Ngata was also tireless in his efforts to raise the living standards of the Maori people and fervently believed it could be achieved only by raising their educational level.

		In one vigorous exchange Ngata noted that "Whilst the Pakeha regards us from the higher altitude of his culture and stresses how far we are behind, we on our side must scan the heights to realise how far we have to struggle upwards".
		It was partly Ngata’s unwillingness to accept anything but the highest standards that led him to resign as Native Minister on 1 November 1934.
		Ngata became pessimistic, even despondent, as he saw Maori settle for the glamour of higher wages and "easily got pensions" instead of working hard for the best jobs that Pakeha still monopolised.

	Politics
		Apirana Ngata was born at Te Araroa on the East Coast in July 1874 and was educated at Waiomatatini Native School and Te Aute College.
		The men were all volunteers, and Ngata's Ngata Porou, so long loyal to the Crown, contributed a huge proportion.
		Sir Apirana continued to organise and support many other causes around the country and in 1948 his hard work was recognised with an honorary LittD.

		Ngata, as the then Minister of Native Affairs, wasted no time in using the money budgeted to him, and, it was to transpire, a little more besides.
		Ngata opposed the transfer of control to a bureaucracy, predicting that tribal initiatives would soon be displaced by government parentalism.
		Ngata preferred that the developed lands be taken over intact by Maori incorporations representative of the owners as a whole.

	Scoop: Ngata - A Career Of Practical Achievement
		A study of the political life of Sir Apirana Ngata is soon confronted with the practical visionary genius of this remarkable man.
		Ngata, ever pan tribal in his approach, worked to ensure that the soldiers on the front knew that they had tribal support so their morale would remain high.
		For Ngata this was an opportunity to honour all Maori who lost their lives in the name of the British Empire and to push home that now was the time for equality.

	The Real Maori Parliament 1892 to 1902
		It met at Waipatu again in 1893, at Pakirikiri (near Gisborne) in 1894, at Rotorua in 1895, at Tokaanu in 1896, at Papawai (Wairarapa) in 1897 and 1898, at Waitangi in 1899, and at Rotorua in 1900 and 1901.
		Apirana Ngata was closely involved in the parliament from 1897, and it was at his instigation that it closed in 1902, after the Goverment had passed the Maori Land Administration Act, and the Maori Councils Act.
		Ngata thought that the new Maori Councils, established by the Government, would continue the work of the Maori Parliament.

	Dr Michael Bassett
		Apirana Ngata(1874-1950) was the pre-eminent Maori figure of the first half of the Twentieth Century.
		There are good accounts of Ngata acting as a cultural go-between, and an excellent description of the scene at Ngata’s home, “The Bungalow”, at Waiomatatini on the East Cape.
		Having cited evidence of the “mounting muddle” in Ngata’s department, Walker then attacks the liberal-minded judge who, he claims, was skewed by his “cultural frame of reference as Pakeha”.

	Scoop: Horoimia: Ta Apirana Ngata Memorial Lecture
		The Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Syd Holland, said that ‘Ngata made the rules of the House and of debate the subject of special and intensive study and became a recognised master in this field’.
		Ngata used that knowledge both to stop delaying the business of the House and to promote delays and very successfully too by all accounts’.
		Ngata said, “I do not seek equality for my people, equality will mean that they will take in that equality many of the vices of the European, what I seek is approximation, with the Mâori preserving his own culture, preserving all that is best in him and benefiting from what is best in the European".'

	NZ Folk Song * Poropeihana
		Ngata was inspired by Taranaki dairy farms like this one.
		So Ngata was opposed in his prohibition, particularly by Tamati Kaiwai, who attacked him on the marae, and later, according to Amiria Manutahi Stirling, was the one who composed this aggressive haka, Poropeihana.
		In 1911, Ngata had persuaded the Horouta Maori Council to hold a poll on the prohibition of the sale of alcohol, and by a narrow margin an experimental three-year dry period began.

	Old Boys University Rugby Club
		Inspired by Maori political leader, Sir Apirana Ngata, these aims arose in response to the economic, social and cultural deprivation experienced by many Maori communities during the early decades of the twentieth century.
		Ngata's seemingly autocratic control was hard won as the New Zealand Rugby Football Union had only reluctantly ceded the administration of Maori rugby to the Advisory Board.
		Loyalty to Ngata, and in some instances the pressure he applied, ensured Maori players chose to be available for selection for Prince of Wales Cup matches ahead of those of their provinces.

		Sir Apirana Ngata held the Eastern Mäori parliamentary seat from 1905 to 1943.
		Sir Apirana's programmes made a huge contribution to Mäori morale and prosperity.
		Some maintain that Sir Apirana's most important contribution to his race was the promotion of a revival of Mäori culture through his literary work in collecting and publishing Mäori waiata (songs, chants, poetry) and his revival of Mäori arts and crafts which focused on refurbishing marae and the building of carved meeting houses.

	The New Zealand Edge : Heroes : Sir Peter Buck : www.nzedge.com
		It was Ngata who recommended that Buck replace the Northern Maori MP Hone Heke when he died in 1909.
		Carroll, Ngata and Buck’s basic policy as members of the Liberal government was to delay the sale of Maori land to Pakeha until Maori had caught up in education and economic development.
		When war was declared in 1914 Ngata and Buck responded aggressively to the policy that, "no native race should be used in hostilities between European races." Asserting the right of Maori to defend the Empire, they demanded that a Maori contingent should be recruited and sent as part of a New Zealand force.

		Apirana Ngata was the first Maori to complete a degree at a New Zealand university - a BA in Political Science at Canterbury College in 1893.
		And though Pat Ngata was, and still is, a wonderful talker, written three-hour medical examinations were not such a strong point.

		As the result of Ngata's concerns, the Māori Arts and Crafts Act was passed in 1926, and the Board of Māori Arts was established.
		Ngata's work led to a great revival of Māori building and carving, which led in turn to the revitalisation of tukutuku weaving.

		He and the people he talks of, all had one thing in common, they held on to their Maori culture and heritage but embraced the European educational opportunities that they were given, realising that this was the way for them to achieve and help Maori people have a voice.

		Sir Apirana Ngata, Carlos Spencer and Phil Tataurangi are examples of people who have created their own success.
