Te Ringa Mangu Netana Mihaka (1942 22 August 2023) was a New Zealand Maori activist, author, and political candidate. Born at Te Ahuahu in 1942 and was affiliated with the Ngapuhi iwi. Mihaka was involved in a number of campaigns regarding Maori rights, including the Bastion Point land dispute. His 1979 attempts to use the Maori language in court were appealed to the Court of Appeal and were the trigger for the 1986 Waitangi Tribunal ruling that the government should introduce legislation making it an official language of New Zealand. He wrote two books on Maori issues. He is most known, however, for performing an act of whakapohane (baring his buttocks, a traditional Maori insult) to Diana, Princess of Wales and Charles, Prince of Wales in 1983.
