Ihaka Te Tai Hakuene (1836 – 6 April 1887) was a 19th-century New Zealand tribal leader, lay reader and a Māori member of the New Zealand parliament.
Of Māori descent, he identified with the Ngā Puhi iwi. He was born in Rawhiti, Northland, New Zealand.[1] He represented the Northern Maori electorate from 1884 to 1887, when he died.[2]
A report suggests that he was accidentally poisoned by a dish containing tinned beef when dining in Auckland.[3][4]
