Te Whiti being led from Parihaka, November 1881
Te Whiti o Rongomai III (c. 1830 – 18 November 1907) was a Māori spiritual leader and founder of the village of Parihaka, in New Zealand's Taranaki region.
Te Whiti established Parihaka community as a place of sanctuary and peace for Māori many of whom seeking refuge as their land was confiscated in the early 1860s. Parihaka became a place of peaceful resistance to the encroaching confiscations.
On 5 November 1881, the village was invaded by 1500 Armed Constabulary with its leaders arrested and put on trial. Te Whiti was sent to Christchurch at the Crown's insistence after it was clear the crown was losing its case in New Plymouth.
The trial, however, was never reconvened and Te Whiti, along with Tohu were held for two years.
Te Whiti and Tohu returned to Parihaka in 1883, seeking to rebuild Parihaka as a place of learning and cultural development though land protests continued.
Te Whiti was imprisoned on two further occasions after 1885 before his death in 1907.
