Photograph taken by William James Harding of Wanganui. In 1864 upper Wanganui Māori adopted the Pai Marire faith and, led by Matene te Rangitauira, attempted to pass down the Whanganui River to attack the town of Wanganui. Mete Kingi was with the army of pro-Government lower Wanganui Maori who refused them passage. At the battle of Moutoua he commanded the reserve and played a decisive part in the defeat of the Hauhau force. (Source: "Dictionary of New Zealand Biography", 1990. p 487).
