Niniwa Heremaia

Niniwa Heremaia or Niniwa-i-te-rangi (6 April 1854 – 23 March 1929) was a Māori leader in New Zealand.

In 1898, during the New Zealand Parliament's Native Affairs Committee inquiry into Māori land legislation, she was the only woman to give evidence.[1] She was involved with the formation of several newspapers: The Te Puke ki Hikurangi and Te Tiupiri published in Māori and the Maori Record, an English-language paper for Māori advancement.[2]
