Sir Āpirana Turupa Ngata (3 July 1874 – 14 July 1950) was a prominent New Zealand statesman. He has
81_1
often been described as the foremost Māori politician to have served in Parliament in the mid-20th
81_2
century, and is also known for his work in promoting and protecting Māori culture and language.
81_3
Ngata practiced as a lawyer before entering politics in 1897, when he established the Young Māori
81_4
Party alongside numerous alumni of Te Aute College, including future fellow cabinet minister Māui
81_5
Pōmare. Here he challenged the traditional views of his people, advocating the abandonment of some
81_6
traditional practices and customary healing in favour of science and Pākehā-style sanitation, which
81_7
made him a controversial figure. In 1905, he was elected the Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) for
81_8
Eastern Maori, retaining this seat for nearly 40 years. He served in government as Minister of
81_9
Native Affairs from 1928 to 1934. In this he tried to accomplish as many reforms for Māori as
81_10
possible, although he was forced to resign as minister in a widely publicised spending scandal.
81_11
Nevertheless, he continued to serve as MP for Eastern Maori until he was ousted in 1943 by Rātana
81_12
candidate (affiliated with Labour) Tiaki Omana, as Labour swept the Māori electorates. At the age
81_13
of 69 he returned to his Ngāti Porou home 129 kilometres north of Gisborne, where he lived with his
81_14
four sons and four daughters, and multiple grandchildren, until his death seven years later.
81_15
Early life
81_16
Ngata was born in Te Araroa (then called Kawakawa), a small coastal town about north of Gisborne,
81_17
New Zealand. His iwi was Ngāti Porou. His father was Paratene Ngata, a tribal leader and expert in
81_18
traditional lore, and his mother was Katerina Naki, the daughter of an itinerant Scot, Abel Enoch.
81_19
Ngata was greatly influenced both by his father and by his great-uncle Ropata Wahawaha (who had led
81_20
loyal kupapa Ngāti Porou forces against their Pai Mārire enemy (commonly known as Hauhau) in the
81_21
East Cape War and later Te Kooti's escapees from the Chatham Islands). Ngata was raised in a Māori
81_22
environment, speaking the Māori language, but his father also ensured that Ngata learnt about the
81_23
Pākehā world, believing that this understanding would be of benefit to Ngāti Porou.
81_24
Ngata attended primary school in Waiomatatini before moving on to Te Aute College, where he
81_25
received a Pākehā-style education. Ngata performed well, and his academic results were enough to
81_26
win him a scholarship to Canterbury University College (now the University of Canterbury), where he
81_27
studied political science and law. He gained a BA in politics in 1893, the first Māori to complete
81_28
a degree at a New Zealand university, then gained an LL.B. at the University of Auckland in 1896
81_29
(the first New Zealander, Māori or Pākehā, to gain a double degree).
81_30
First marriage and children
81_31
In 1895, a year before finishing his second degree (law), Ngata married 16-year-old Arihia Kane
81_32
Tamati who was also of the Ngāti Porou iwi. Ngata had previously been engaged to Arihia's elder
81_33
sister, Te Rina, but she died. Āpirana and Arihia had fifteen children, eleven of whom survived to
81_34
adulthood; six girls and five boys.
81_35
Shortly after Ngata's legal qualifications were recognised, he and his wife returned to
81_36
Waiomatatini where they built a house, initially called 'Te Wharehou' and later known as 'The
81_37
Bungalow'. Ngata quickly became prominent in the community, making a number of efforts to improve
81_38
the social and economic conditions of Māori across the country. He also wrote extensively on the
81_39
place of Māori culture in the modern age. At the same time, he gradually acquired a leadership role
81_40
within Ngāti Porou, particularly in the area of land management and finance.
81_41
Political career
81_42
Ngata's first involvement with national politics came through his friendship with James Carroll,
81_43
who was Minister of Native Affairs in the Liberal Party government. Ngata assisted Carroll in the
81_44
preparation of two pieces of legislation, both of which were intended to increase the legal rights
81_45
enjoyed by Māori. In the 1905 election, Ngata himself stood as the Liberal candidate for the
81_46
Eastern Maori electorate, challenging the incumbent Wi Pere. He was elected to Parliament.
81_47
Early career
81_48
Ngata quickly distinguished himself in Parliament as a skilled orator. He worked closely with his
81_49
friend Carroll, and also worked closely with Robert Stout. Ngata and Stout, members of the Native
81_50
Land Commission, were often critical of the government's policies towards Māori, particularly those
81_51
designed at encouraging the sale of Māori land. In 1909, Ngata assisted John Salmond in the
81_52
drafting of the Native Land Act.
81_53
In late 1909, Ngata was appointed to Cabinet, holding a minor ministerial responsibility for Māori
81_54
land councils. He retained this position until 1912, when the Liberal government was defeated.
81_55
Ngata followed the Liberals into Opposition.
81_56
In the First World War, Ngata was highly active in gathering Māori recruits for military service,
81_57
working closely with Reform Party MP, Maui Pomare. Ngata's own Ngāti Porou were particularly well
81_58
represented among the volunteers. The Māori commitment to the war by some iwi, can be attributed to
81_59
Ngata and Pomare and this created a certain amount of goodwill from Pākehā towards iwi who had
81_60
loyally supported the country; this assisted Ngata's later attempts to resolve land grievances.
81_61
Although in Opposition, Ngata enjoyed relatively good relations with his counterparts across the
81_62
House in the Reform Party. He had a particularly good relationship with Gordon Coates, who became
81_63
Prime Minister in 1925 and later Princess Te Puea of Waikato. The establishment of several
81_64
government bodies, such as the Māori Purposes Fund Control Board and the Board of Māori
81_65
Ethnological Research, owed much to Ngata's involvement.
81_66
Māori interests
81_67
Ngata was also active in a huge variety of other endeavours. The most notable, perhaps, was his
81_68
involvement in academic and literary circles – in this period, he published a number of works on
81_69
significant Māori culture, with , a collection of Māori songs, being one of his better known works.
81_70
Ngata was also heavily involved in the protection and advancement of Māori culture among Māori
81_71
themselves, giving particular attention to promoting the haka, poi dancing, and traditional carving
81_72
that had been begun by Te Puea. One aspect of his advocacy of Māori culture was the construction of
81_73
many new traditional meeting houses throughout the country. Yet another of Ngata's interests was
81_74
the promotion of Māori sport, which he fostered by encouraging intertribal competitions and
81_75
tournaments. Finally, Ngata also promoted Māori issues within the Anglican Church in New Zealand,
81_76
encouraging the creation of a Māori bishopric. In December 1928, Frederick Bennett, was consecrated
81_77
as suffragan bishop to the Waiapu diocese with the title Bishop of Aotearoa. Ngata and Bishop
81_78
Herbert Williams campaigned for the recognition of Māori language as a subject for study in the
