One of the most powerful military leaders of the Musket Wars, Te Rauparaha fought a war of conquest that greatly expanded Ngāti Toa southwards, receiving the epithet "the Napoleon of the South". He remains one of the most prominent and celebrated New Zealand historical figures.
Te Rauparaha (~1760 - 27 de noviembre de 1849) fue un rangatira maorí y líder de guerra de la iwi (tribu) Ngāti Toa que tuvo mucha influencia durante la Guerras de los Mosquetes. 2 Fue importante también como vendedor de tierras a los británicos de la Compañía de Nueva Zelanda y tomó parte en la Masacre de Wairau .
Te Rauparaha was the son of Werawera, of Ngāti Toa, and his second wife, Parekōwhatu (Parekōhatu), of Ngāti Raukawa. He is said to have been a boy when James Cook was in New Zealand. If so, it is likely that he was born in the 1760s.
Te Rauparaha was a Ngāti Toa chief and warrior. Sometimes called the 'Napoleon of the Southern Hemisphere', he ruled the lower end of the North Island from his base at Kapiti Island for the best part of 20 years.
This famous chief of the Ngati Toa was born in 1768 or 1769, probably at Maungatautari, the home of his mother's people. He was the son of Werawera, a chief of the Ngati Toa, and, through him, was descended from Toa Rangitira, the eponymous ancestor of the Ngati Toa branch of Tainui.

The formidable Ngāti Toa leader had dominated Te Moana-o-Raukawa – the Cook Strait region – from his base at Kāpiti Island for nearly 20 years. Te Rauparaha spent the last year of his life at Ōtaki. By this time his influence had declined, in part because of the humiliation of his imprisonment by Governor George Grey in 1846.
