Tama-i-hara-nui

Tama-i-hara-nui (17?? – c. 1830/1831), also known as Te Maiharanui and Tamaiharanui , was a New Zealand M?ori chief of Ng?i Tahu . ^[1] He was described as "strong and ruthless" and was a central figure in the 1820s "kai huanga" feud, meaning "eat relatives". ^[2] Tama-i-hara-nui angered Ng?ti Toa by letting a group of their chiefs into Kaiapoi p? and then killing them. Te Rauparaha , one of the Ng?ti Toa chiefs who stayed outside of the p? , returned to Banks Peninsula in November 1830 and captured Tama-i-hara-nui. He was taken to ?taki , where he was tortured by the wives of the chiefs who had been killed at Kaiapoi p?, and then killed himself. ^[1]
