Apirana Ngata was a extremely influencial New Zealander. He was the first Maori to complete a University Degree and later became a politician in order to represent Maori, who at the time were treated as second class citizens. He revived Maori culture and the Maori Language, which were both on the verge of 'extinction'. He is now immortalised on the New Zealand $50 note. His whakapapa is essentially his family tree and to Maori people this is an important aspect of what theys are. It sets out your bloodline and your ancestry. Apirana's Whakapapa is quite impressive and can be traced back to Maori Chiefs from the Ngati Porou tribes.
