Riperata Kahutia, Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki leader

Riperata Kahutia (died 10 June 1887) was a New Zealand Māori landowner and a leader within the Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki tribe (iwi).

Kahutia was born in either Makauri or Taruheru, in Poverty Bay, in what is now the Gisborne District. She was probably born in either 1838 or 39. She was one of the original landowners of the area which would become the Gisborne township.[1]
