Kewene Te Haho, reputed to be nearly 90 at his death, is reported in the West Coast Times as having died in July 1902 at his home at Te Makaka on the shores of Aotea harbour. Makaka was a Wesleyan outpost. A newspaper account estimates Kewene was born around 1813. He fought in the 1830 Taumatawiwi battle between Te Waharoa of Tainui and Ngāti Maru of Hauraki. Between 1835-6 Kewene Te Haho accompanied Te Waharoa on a fighting excursion to Rotorua and Maketu. Kewene Te Haho's son Ratapu Kewene signed the Māori Visitors' Book at the Lindauer Art Gallery on 31 January 1902 and acknowledged his father.
