Te Whenuanui

Te Whenuanui (c. 1815 – 1907), also known as Te Haka,[1] was a notable New Zealand Tūhoe chief, builder and carver.

[2] He was born in Maungapohatu, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.

[3] As a carver, some of Te Whenuanui's work included the house Te Whai-a-te-motu at Ruatahuna, made to symbolise the hardships Tūhoe had faced during the New Zealand Wars.
