Mary Constance Tautari (née Perry, died 2 January 1906) was a Māori schoolteacher, interpreter, and postmaster in New Zealand.
Pupils at the boarding school learned English, household duties, singing, and instrumental music.
[2] When the Pākehā George Grey visited the school in 1876, he praised the assimilation of the students, remarking that the girls were "Europeanised as much as possible, and in all respects rendered fit to become the wives of settlers".
[4] Tautari and her husband owned property in Taumārere, where she was employed as a postmaster and an interpreter.
They made a claim to a recreation area that was disputed and were the main initiators of raising a Māori church there.
[7] She argued that title determination for land in the Puhipuhi block was influenced by the unfair allocation of advances.
[9] Tautari continued to run the day school until her death on 2 January 1906 in Rawene.
