Ko Māui Pōmare te rata Māori tuatahi. Anei ia e tū ana i te taha o te whare i waihangahia mō te haerenga mai o ngā ariki nui o Ingarangi i te tau 1901. I whakangungua a Pōmare ki Amerika, ā, nō te tau 1901 ka rehitatia ia ki Aotearoa. No te tau 1904 ka whakapōtaehia tana hoa a Te Rangihīroa ki te Kura Rata o Ōtākou. Ko Tūtere Wī Repa (i whakapōtaehia i te tau 1908) tērā i mahi ki te Tai Rāwhiti, ā, ko Edward Ellison (i whakapōtaehia i te tau 1919) tērā i mahi ki te Moananui-a-Kiwa me Aotearoa nei. Ka noho ēnei rata hei tauira mo ngā hunga ngaio hauora Māori.
