Koata was the term for the four Māori seats reserved for Māori in Parliament, used in 1928 by T W Ratana, who called himself Piri Wiri Tua or the campaigner. From the Maori language and literally meaning a quarter, the word is applied to each of the four New Zealand Maori seats and the Ratana movement Members of Parliament who held them.
