Biography
Tāmaiharanui was born in the late 1700s. Tāmaiharanui was captured onboard the Brig Elizabeth, a British vessel, whose captain, John Stewart, had negotiated a deal with Te Rauparaha for flax in exchange for his and his retinue's transport to Akaroa. Tāmaiharanui boarded the ship with his wife, Te Whe, and daughter, Kā Roimata, on November 11, 1830, and were captured, and their settlement pillaged. There are differing accounts of Kā Roimata's death onboard, she either was smothered/thrown overboard by Tāmaiharanui to stop her entering slavery, or made an attempt to escape by jumping overboard, but drowned before she reached shore. [1] He was killed, following prolonged torture, in 1830 by the principal widow of Te Pēhi Kupe, a Ngāti Toa leader who had been killed at Kaiapoi. He is memorialised as the tekoteko of the wharenui Karaweko at Ōnuku Marae in Akaroa, with pounamu eyes to replace those gouged out by Ngāti Toa. [2]
