Apirana Ngata (1874–1950) was the key Maori politician in the early 20th century and a significant leader in the Maori community.
During the Second World War he supported Maori taking part on the grounds that ‘British sovereignty was accepted by our forefathers and it has given the Maori people rights which they would not have been accorded under any conqueror.’
