About Wi Pere
- Wiremu "Wi" Pere (7 March 1837 – 9 December 1915), was a Maori Member of Parliament in New Zealand.
- He represented Eastern Maori in the House of Representatives from 1884 to 1887, and again from 1893 to 1905.
- Pere's strong criticism of the government's Maori land policies and his involvement in the turbulent land wars in the 1860s and 1870s made him a revered Maori leader and he was known throughout his career as an contentious debator and outstanding orator in the use of the Maori language within the House of Representatives.
