John White (ethnographer)
John White (1826–1891) was an English public servant and ethnographer in New Zealand, known for his work on the history and traditions of the Māori people.
==Life==
Son of Francis White, he was born in England, and went out to New Zealand with his father in 1832, settling first at Kororāreka. It was sacked by the Māori forces at the beginning of the Flagstaff War in 1845, and the family moved to Auckland.
White was employed by the government in positions where he came much into contact with the Māori people. Subsequently he was gold commissioner at Coromandel, and was appointed official interpreter and agent for the purchase of lands; he succeeded in obtaining for the colonists the title to most of the land round Auckland.〔
Later White became magistrate of Central Whanganui. He died suddenly at Auckland on 13 January 1891.〔
