Wiremu Pātara Te Tuhi (? – 2 July 1910) was a notable New Zealand tribal leader, newspaper editor, warrior and secretary to the maori king. Of Māori descent, he identified with the Waikato iwi, Ngāti Mahuta and Ngāti Wairere.[1][2] He was born in Waikato, New Zealand.[2] Nelson Illingworth produced a sculpture of Te Tuhi as part of an ethnological series commissioned by the New Zealand government in 1908, which is now in the taonga Māori collection at Te Papa.[3][4]
