Summary Ngati, a Maori word meaning tribe, is set in the tiny Maori community of Kapua on the East Cape in 1948. There is a twin focus of the threatened displacement of drovers by truckies and the impending closure of the freezing works, the community's main employer. There is also concern about 12 year-old Ropata whose illness neither Maori nor European medicine can cure. A newly arrived young Australian is caught up in the town's crisis. The film de-emphasises the personal in favour of a sense of communal inter-connection and explores the possible relationships between Maori and and pakeha ways. Written and directed by Maoris, Ngati has claims to be New Zealand's first ìndigenous' feature
