About Te Aho-o-te-Rangi Wharepu
Te Aho Te Rangi Wharepu, active 1850s-1905, Te Aho-o-te-rangi, active 1850s-1905 Of Ngati Mahuta. Aged nearly 90 in 1905, when his portrait was painted by C. F. Goldie (with title "A good joke"), he was a chief of the Ngati Mahuta iwi of Waikato, possibly a descendant of Te-Aho-o-te-Rangi, killed by Ngati Toa in the Waikato at the end of the eighteenth century. He was a tohunga ta moko and the tuakina of Tawhiao, the second appointed Maori King. He was a Waikato carver and tattoo specialist. Said to have spent the money he earned from modelling for Goldie, in accumulating a large and varied European wardrobe. (see also Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, 1990, Vol 1, p. 505, column 1.)
