Te Mahuki

Te Mahuki (c1840–1899)[1] was a notable New Zealand tribal prophet who believed he was an Israelite[2] sent to find the promised land.

[1] Te Mahuki bitterly resented Pākehā settlement in New Zealand, having been among the ploughmen[3] jailed for being at Parihaka when it was invaded.

Hursthouse and Wetere Te Rerenga were surveying the path of the North Island Main Trunk railway line on land that had been purchased by the government from Ngati Maniapoto when he was captured.

A few days later Te Mahuki and his followers marched unarmed on Pirongia to protest against the co-operation of Ngāti Maniapoto chiefs with the railway survey.
