Rēweti Tūhorouta Kōhere (11 April 1871 – 9 August 1954) was a New Zealand Anglican clergyman, newspaper journalist and editor, farmer, writer, historian.

[1] He contested one general election; in 1938, he agreed to be the official Labour Party candidate in the Eastern Maori electorate, and he came second after National's Āpirana Ngata.

Since the publication was printed bilingually (Te Reo Māori and English), Kōhere submitted Ngāti Porou poetry with his own translations.

Sir Āpirana Ngata, a contemporary of Kōhere, supplied his own translation of the oriori in Ngā Mōteatea: The Songs – Part I.

[6] He also received a tribute in the "Haere ki o koutou tipuna" section, where his often uncredited involvement in the Young Māori Party was mentioned.

[7] The magazine would make continual references to the late writer in its subsequent issues, even years later, showing his impact on the readers and editors.
