Aperahama Taonui (died 23 September 1882) was a New Zealand tribal leader, prophet, historian, teacher and assessor. He was a leader of the Te Popoto hapū of the Ngāpuhiiwi. He was born in Whangaroa, Northland, probably in the 1810s. His father was Makoare Te Taonui.[1]
Aperahama Taonui received a bullet wound, probably in April 1845, in the early fighting near Okaihau.[1] He was sent to Auckland to recuperate and there became friendly with Governor George Grey, who awarded Aperahama Taonui a government pension.[1] His father, Makoare Te Taonui, led his warriors in the capture of Heke's pā at Te Ahuahu,[2] which was followed by Nene's defeat of Heke in the Battle of Te Ahuahu on 12 June 1845 at Pukenui.[3][4]
