Hopere Uru
John Hopere Wharewiti Uru (26 March 1868 – 29 November 1921), sometimes known as Billy Uru, was a New Zealand Māori sportsman and politician. He represented Canterbury at both cricket and rugby union, and was an Independent (and sometimes Reform) Member of Parliament for Southern Maori.
==Early life and family==
Uru was born at Kaiapoi, the son of farmer Hoani Uru and his wife Kataraina Kaiparoa, probably on 26 March 1868. A member of the Ngāi Tūāhuriri hapū (sub-tribe) of Ngāi Tahu, Uru was educated at Te Aute College from 1889. He married Rahera Muriwai Mutu in 1892; the couple subsequently divorced in 1915 and it is not thought that they had any children. The following year he remarried, to Riwaka Anaha Tauwhare, and subsequently had two children.
A captain in the North Canterbury Mounted Rifle Volunteers, Uru was sergeant of the Māori contingent at the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in London in 1897, commander of the Māori contingent at the opening of Australia's federal parliament in 1901, and second-in-command of the New Zealand contingent at the coronation of Edward VII.〔
