Some people at the time called her Tehaapapa II. This was even though there was an earlier Queen Tehaapapa I when James Cook visited the island.

Life of Queen Teha'apapa III

Queen Teha'apapa III was part of the Teururai royal family of Huahine. This family had ruled the island for a long time. She became the Queen of Huahine in 1893.

She was the last queen to rule Huahine. Her reign lasted from 1893 to 1895. She was the oldest daughter of Marama Teururai, who was a Prince Regent of Huahine. Her mother was Princess Tetuanuimarama a Te-u-ru-ari'i from Rurutu.

When she became queen, she took the special royal name Te-ha'apapa III. However, her rule ended in September 1895. This was when the island of Huahine became part of France.
