What did Sir Apirana Ngata do in his life?

LEVEL: Intermediate / Secondary

Hot tip: we use the online Dictionary of NZ Biography. It has a good article on Sir Apirana Ngata's life.

There's also some information on Te Ara from the 1966 Encyclopedia. If you want more information about Sir Apirana Ngata - you could try some of these articles on Te Ara, found doing a search on the site.

We also like the article on the NZHistory.net.nz site on Sir Apirana Ngata.

Wikipedia also has an article on Sir Apirana Ngata - but remember, anyone can add information on Wikipedia - so it's always a good idea to check with other sources, like the Dictionary of NZ Biography and Te Ara, as they are both really reliable and trustworthy sources of information.

There's a brief bio at the nzhistory site that might help, too:

There's also an article written by him:
http://teaohou.natlib.govt.nz/journals/teaohou/issue/Mao12TeA/c29.html
To find these we searched google for: "apirana ngata" "land development".
Good luck!

Shardae, OC

Hi Shardae - thanks for the tip!
Remember, though, that any one can post an answer on Wiki.answers - so they're not always trustworthy.
You'll need to check a few different sites and books to check.
Remember, too, that your local library will probably have books on Sir Apirana Ngata that will help you all.

Alouinna ., papakuraa .

Hi Paige, Beryl and Alouinna. The websites we've suggested should give you information for a speech or essay. Beryl, the Dictionary of NZ Biography entry has some family information. Otherwise, for more specific family information you may need to contact a kuia or kamatua in your whanau. You could also try your local or school library to see if there are any books with more information about Sir Apirana's family. All the best with your research!
