Tahau of Waipahihi, Lake Taupo (Mid
1870's) The patu (stone hand club) that chief Tahau (1st born?) holds is possibly the same one with which he is said to have executed many prisoners taken in battle. Two children look on from inside the whare. This East Taupo chief was captured at the Omarunui engagement, near Napier, in 1866. Tahau escaped from Chatham Island in the schooner “Rifleman,” and was with Te Kooti (top) in all the fighting until the early part of 1870. He was described as a most savage and ruthless warrior. | |||||||||||||||||||
