Ngātata Love

Sir Ralph Herberley "Ngātata" Love GNZM QSO JP (born 7 September 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 born in 1937, the son of the Te Ati Awa leader Sir Ralph Love.[1] He was educated at Wellington College and attended university part-time.[1]

In the 2001 New Year Honours Love was appointed a Companion of the Queen's Service Order for public services.[4] He was made a Principal Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to Māori in the 2009 New Year Honours,[5] and later that year accepted re-designation as a Knight Grand Companion of the same order following the restoration of titular honours by the New Zealand government.[6][7] At the same time Love 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."[8]

In March 2009, Love suggested that secondary students should have the option of going to wananga (Māori tertiary institutions) rather than staying at school.[9]

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]
