[edit] Biography
Prince Ariimate Teururai was born at Huahine in 1853. He was the last King of Ra'iatea and Taha'a. He was the second son of King Ariimate of Huahine. His mother, Princess Maerehia Tehaapapa of Raiatea, was the only living child of King Tamatoa IV of Raiatea. She became Queen regnant of Huahine under the regnal name of Teha'apapa II after her husband was deposed in 1868.

He was installed as king of Ra'iatea and Taha'a in 1884. His coronation took place on January 22, 1885. He took the regnal name Tamatoa VI.
His reign ended when the French annexed the two islands of Ra'iatea and Taha'a on March 16, 1888.
After his abdication, he returned to his natal island where he was later proclaimed chief of Tefarerii in Huahine island on 1895, the same year that his niece Queen Tehaapapa III was deposed.
