Ihaia Tainui
Ihaia Tainui was a Māori member of the New Zealand parliament.
He was the son of Wereta Tainui and grandson of Tuhuru Kokare, both chiefs of the Ngāi Tahu hapū Ngāti Waewae.
He represented the electorate of Southern Maori from 1879 to 1881, when he resigned and Hori Taiaroa resumed the electorate.
Tainui committed suicide by hanging on 19 October 1885 in the whare rūnanga at Arahura Pā, north of Hokitika.
