Tītore

Tītore (circa 1775-1837) (sometimes known as Tītore Tākiri) was a Rangatira (chief) of the Ngāpuhi iwi (tribe). He was a war leader of the Ngāpuhi who lead the war expedition against the Māori tribes at East Cape in 1820 and 1821. He also led the war expeditions to Tauranga and Maketu in 1832 and 1833, following the incident in the Bay of Islands that is known as the Girls' War.

He was the son of Hāpai and the grandson of Toko. He was the brother of Rapu. Tītore was the nephew of Tāreha, principal rangatira of the Ngāti Rēhia hapū (sub-tribe), of Kerikeri, and he was related to Hōne Heke and Hengi of Ngāti Rēhia. He married a sister of Hongi Hika. He lived at Waimate North; then after the Girls’ War he lived at Kororāreka in the Bay of Islands, as the peace settlement after the Girl's War resulted in his receiving Kororāreka as reparation for the death of his relation, Hengi.
