  • Pōmare I (?–1826), also called Whetoi, was a Māori rangatira (chief) of the Ngāpuhi iwi (tribe) in New Zealand. He was a leader of the Ngāti Manu hapū (subtribe) of the Ngāpuhi. Whetoi adopted the name of Pōmare, which was the name of the king of Tahiti who had converted to Christianity. After his death he was called Pomarenui (Pōmare the Great) by the Ngati Manu in order to distinguish him from his nephew Whiria. The Ngāti Manu originally lived at Tautoro, south of Kaikohe, however disputes with the Ngāti Toki (Ngāti Wai) in Pōmare’s lifetime forced them to move and settle at Kororāreka, Matauwhi, Otuihu, Waikare and Te Karetu on the southern shore of the Bay of Islands. Pōmare I established a pā at Matauwhi, near to Kororareka, in what is now called Pomare Bay. Following the death of Pōmare I in 1826, his nephew Whiria adopted his uncle’s names, Whetoi and Pōmare, so that Whiria is referred to as Pōmare II, so as to distinguish him from his uncle. (en)
