Te Paea Tëaho ( 1820s â 22 January 1875), sometime known by PÃÂkehàas Princess Sophia, was a daughter of the first MÃÂori King, Pà Âtatau Te Wherowhero, and a leader in the MÃÂori King Movement in New Zealand. A member of the NgÃÂti Mahuta tribe, she was probably born in the Waikato in the early 1820s. When her father died in 1860, Te Paea was one of the individuals put forward to succeed him as leader of the King Movement, but her brother Matutaera (TÃÂwhiao) was chosen instead. She continued to play a leadership role within the King Movement. Te Paea Tëaho's husband was ÃÂpiha Pà «tini, a prominent NgÃÂti Tamaoho chief.
