Abstract:
Te Rauparaha is one of the most well-remembered nineteenth century Māori leaders of Aotearoa New Zealand (Niu Tireni). This article investigates the ways in which his son Tāmihana (Katu) Te Rauparaha biographed his father across a range of formats, including writing, oil portraiture, and statuary, thus ensuring that his father’s life would be remembered.
