Ngatata Love

Sir Ralph Herberley "Ngatata" Love GNZM QSO JP (born September 7, 1937) is a New Zealand Treaty of Waitangi negotiator, academic and Māori leader.[1] Love is a Professor of Business Development at Victoria University of Wellington's Victoria Management School.[2] He is in a long-term relationship with Lorraine Skiffington.[3]

Love was awarded the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2009 for services to Māori.[4][5][6] At the same time Sir Ngatata stated that he is a supporter of a New Zealand republic and that "Even though I am an avowed republican, we must never abandon the history we share with Britain. Particularly at times of conflict."[7]

His father was the Te Ati Awa leader Sir Ralph Love.[1] Love attended Wellington College and attended university part-time.[1]

In March 2009, Love suggested that secondary students should have the option of going to wananga (Māori tertiary institutions) rather than staying at school.[8]

In 2012 Love stepped aside from a number of positions representing Māori and the Serious Fraud Office said it was investigating a matter in relation to the Wellington Tenths Trust.[3]
