Temari'i a Teurura'i (1838–1891), also known as Ma'ihara or Teuhe, was a Polynesian queen who ruled the Kingdom of Huahine and Maiʻao from 18 March 1888 to 22 July 1890 under the royal title Teuhe, sometimes recorded as Teuhe II. She was a member of the prominent Teurura'i family of Huahine.

Family

She was born at Huahine, in 1838 and was the eldest daughter of Queen Teha'apapa II and King Ari'imate of Huahine.[1][2]

Marriage

She married Ari'iaue Pomare a Tu, King of Tahiti and eldest surviving son of Queen Pōmare IV, on 11 November 1857, in Huahine. However, the union was short-lived, and they divorced on 5 August 1861.[3]

Queen of Huahine and Mai'ao

She was proclaimed Queen Teuhe on 22 February 1888, during an insurrection against France. On 22 July 1890, she was deposed by her brother Marama and exiled to Tahiti, where she sought protection from her former husband, Pomare V.[4] She died without issue at Papeete on 21 August 1891.[5]
