Summary

[edit]
Description

Heta Te Haara was a prominent rangatira of Kaikohe and Waimate in Northland. He was the chairman of the Ngāpuhi Kotahitanga movement formed in Kaikohe in 15 April 1891 for the purpose of unifying Ngāpuhi, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Whatua and Te Aupouri. He died on 8 April 1894.

Te Haara was influential in having the British remains of those killed at the Battle of Ōhaeawai (18445) exhumed and reintered in the grounds of St Michael’s Church, built on the site of the conflict. The Governor of the day, Sir George Bowen, asked ‘if there be a more touching episode in the annals of the warfare of even civilized nations in either ancient or modern times’.

More on this and Ōhaewai can be found at www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/ohaeawai-nz-wars-memoria...

This portrait of Heta Te Haara was taken by Elizabeth Pulman, one of New Zealand's earliest photographers (and possibly the country's first female professional photographer).
