Ko '''Alan Duff''' he kaituhi nō [[Aotearoa]], nō [[Ngāti Rangitihi]] me [[Tūwharetoa]]. I whānau mai ia i te 1950.
Ko ia te tamaiti a [[Gowan Duff]] (koia hoki tōna matua) - he tangata pūtaiao - rāua ko Kuia Hinau (koia hoki tōna whaea). I whakatupuria hoki ia i tētehi whare Kāwanatanga ki [[Rotorua]]. He mokopuna hoki a Alan nā Oliver Duff, he kaituhi anō. 

I a ia e taitamariki tonu ana, ka huri ia ki ngā mahi takahi i te ture, ki te patu tangata, ki te whānako. Nō reira, i tonoa ia kia noho ia ki te whare herehere o [[Waikeria]] mō te tau kotahi. Tekau mā rima noa iho ōna tau i taua wā. Nō muri mai, kua haere ia ki Rānana.
