He was influential in the original sale of land to the [[New Zealand Company]] and was a participant in the [[Wairau Affray]] in Marlborough. In the early 1800s, Te Rauparaha emerged as a prominent Māori leader, leading Ngāti Toa in tribal warfare and migrations throughout New Zealand. He successfully defended the strategically important Kapiti Island and expanded his tribe's territory through conquests in the South Island. Te Rauparaha fostered trade with European whalers and strengthened his power through strategic alliances. Despite initial cooperation with European settlers, tensions arose over land sales, culminating in the Wairau Affray. Te Rauparaha was arrested but later exonerated and allowed to return to his people. He contributed to the construction of Rangiātea Church before his death in 1849. Te Rauparaha composed the "Ka Mate" haka, which has become a symbol of New Zealand's sports teams. His legacy is remembered through biographies, a memorial, and the Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua. == Early days ==
