RENATA NGATA After a long illness, the death occurred at Waiomatatini, Ruatoria, of Renata Ngata, the last surviving brother of the late Sir Apirana Ngata. He was Sir Apirana's only full brother. Renata Ngata belonged to the Whanau a Te Ao, Ngati Rangi, and Whanau a Karuai hapus of Ngati-Porou. Like his father, Paratene Ngata, he was a well-known figure in former days in the Maori Land Courts, and an acknowledged authority on tribal history. Renata Ngata is survived by his widow. Though they had no children of their own, they brought up a number of relatives, including their nephew, Mr W. T. Ngata, of the Department of Maori Affairs.
