Finish these sentences from the text:
“Apirana dedicated himself to the improvement of… both socially, culturally, and economically.”
“Apirana was a proud Maori, and fought to set up businesses and school for Māori throughout New Zealand, and it is this kind of work that created his legacy - in a world where Māori were looked down upon by the European colonists Āpirana fought to keep their traditions alive, not by fighting them in wars, but by playing the game the Europeans and protecting Māori culture with the power of the law .
