Who was the article about? (Full name, and title)
Sir Apirana (Ngata Porou)
When and where was he born?

Which Iwi was Apirana Ngata most connected to?
(Ngata Porou)
What was he the first Maori person to do?
He was the first Maori person to graduate from University, successfully becoming a lawyer! <3
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 for Maori 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? The reason why is because he wanted to join the European so he can know the laws to protect Maori culture! <3 :3
What do you think motivated him to fight so hard to keep Maori Culture alive? Because he was born in New Zealand and if he didn’t fought for his own culture, his culture would likely go extinct :c
