From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ngata Prosser Pitcaithly (26 September 1906 – 28 April 1991) was a New Zealand principal and educationalist. He was born in Waimate, New Zealand, in 1906. Not of Māori ancestry, his Australian-born mother liked Māori names and all the children were given one. Pitcaithly did develop an interest in Māori culture and made outstanding contributions to Māori education.[1]
In 1953, Pitcaithly was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal.[2]
