Peruka was baptized in the Sandwich Anglican Church in August 12, 1919.

His father, Kiraka was a Christian. He worked as a tent maker and he ran his own workshop. He hoped Peruka would become a tentmaker when he grew up.

Later Years
In 1990, Naku returned to Narthernee where he spoke on his human rights abuses to students at Pyroville International University.
