Response to Text
Who was the article about? (Full name, and title) The article was about a man named sir Apirana Ngata-reading
When and where was he born? He was born on july 3rd 1874 in Te Araroa on the east coast of new zealand north island.
Which Iwi was Apirana Ngata most connected to? I'm not sure but Ngati porou.
What was he the first Maori person to do? He Graduated from University.
Finish these sentences from the text:
“Apirana dedicated himself to the improvement of… Maori, both socially, culturally, and economically.”
“Apirana was a proud Maori, and fought to… set up businesses and schools throughout New Zealand”
“...he used these connections to educate himself in… the ways of European politics and law.
Why do you think it was important for Apirana to educate himself like a European? I am not sure why but maybe after he graduated University he qualified??
What do you think motivated him to fight so hard to keep Maori Culture alive? Because he was so proud of his culture that he didn’t want to lose?! I'm not to sure
