Who was the article about? (Full name, and title)
Sir Apirana Ngata (Ngati porou)
When and where was he born?
He was born in July 3rd 1874 and the place he was born in was Te Araroa
Which Iwi was Apirana Ngata most connected to?
He was connected to New Zealand
What was he the first Maori person to do?
The first Māori in New Zealand to graduate from University.
Finish these sentences from the text:
“Apirana dedicated himself to the improvement of
Māori, both socially, culturally, and economically.”
B. “Apirana was a proud Maori, and fought to
set up businesses and school for Māori throughout New Zealand, and it is this kind of work that created his legacy”
C. “he used these connections to educate himself in
the ways of the European politics and law”
Why do you think it was important for Apirana to educate himself like a European? It was important to him because Apirana wants to keep maori culture alive and because he wants to keep the traditions.
What do you think motivated him to fight so hard to keep Maori Culture alive?
Māori culture was starting to be pushed aside, Māori were being encouraged to live, and behave like Europeans, and while Apirana did act, and behave in a European way, he knew that if somebody did not fight to keep Māori culture alive, it would likely go extinct.
