Kate Sheppard is recognised as the leader of the fight to win the right for New Zealand women to vote.
Why do you think this was so important?
I think it is important because it’s not fair that women don’t get to vote just because we’re girls. I think that all people should have the right to vote and that all women should no matter what their opinion matters.

Who was the article about? (Full name, and title)
Sir Apirana Ngata
When and where was he born?
July 3rd in Te Araroa
Which Iwi was Apirana Ngata most connected to?
New Zealand
What was he the first Maori person to do?
The first Maori in New Zealand to graduate from University
Finish these sentences from the text:
”Apirana dedicated himself to the improvement of Maori, both socially, culturally, and economically.
”Apirana was a proud Maori, and fought to set up businesses and school for maori throughout New Zealand, and it is this kind of work that created his legacy”.
”...he used these connections to educate himself in the ways of the European politics and law”.
Why do you think it was important for Apirana to educate himself like a European? Māori were being encouraged to live, and behave like Europeans, and while Apirana did act, and behave in a European way, he knew that if somebody did not fight to keep Māori culture alive
What do you think motivated him to fight so hard to keep Maori Culture alive?
While he studied at European schools, it was his deep connection to his Māoritanga (Māori culture) that motivated his work after University. Māori culture was starting to be pushed aside.
