Henare Kaihau (1854/1860? – 20 May 1920) was a New Zealand Māori politician, serving as Member of the House of Representatives for the Western Maori electorate from 1896 when he defeated Ropata Te Ao, to 1911 when he was defeated by Maui Pomare.[1]
His birth year is uncertain. The Dictionary of New Zealand Biography gives a range from 1854 to 1860.[2] Wilson gives 1855, and notes him as a Reform Party supporter.[1] Kaihau does, however, appear on a poster of the Liberal Party in 1910.[3]
