Hauhau

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Hauhau

Member of the Pai Marire, a religious-military cult of the Maori people of New Zealand. The cult was founded in 1864 by Te Ua Haumene, who claimed to have been visited by the angel Gabriel and to have sacrificed his child in repentance for the straying of the Maori people. A mixture of Jewish, Christian, and Maori beliefs, the movement held that the Maori were a new chosen people and charged them with driving out the Europeans and recovering the ancestral lands. The effort failed, though fighting lasted until 1872. Some cult beliefs have persisted among the Maoris.
