Te Waaka Perohuka

Te Waaka Perohuka (fl. 1843–1851) was a New Zealand Māori tohunga and carver. He was one of the prominent leaders of the Rongowhakaata iwi during the early stages of European colonisation in the 1800s.^[1]

Some of his most famous carvings was the Te Toki-a-Tāpiri war canoe in 1840, which is displayed in the Auckland War Memorial Museum, and the carvings inside the Toko Toru Tapu Church in Manutuke near Gisborne.^[2]
