Abstract

Ngata was born on 3 July 1874 into the Ngāti-Porou tribe at Te Araroa on the East Coast of the North Island. The Ngata family was prominent in the region, and Apirana was marked early for leadership of his people. Having accepted Christianity, Ngāti-Porou had in the main supported the Crown during what Belich has called ‘the New Zealand Wars’ and had retained much of its land.
