Prince Teriʻitua Tuavira Joinville Pōmare (17 December 1847 - 9 April 1875) was a member of the royal family of Tahiti, the Pōmare dynasty, who lived in the time of the French protectorate of the Kingdom of Tahiti (1842-1880).
Names and titles
He was given the name "Joinville" by the French governor, Lavaud, in honor of Prince François, Prince of Joinville, one of the sons of French King Louis Philippe I. The Tahitians translated the given name of "Joinville" by "Tuavira."
At his birth, he was adopted by Teri'itua, the female chief of the Hitia'a district, who had no children. When she died, he succeeded her and took her name.
He had the title "His royal highness Prince Teri'itua Joinville Pōmare, chief of Hitia'a."

Educated in France
At the age of 15, at his mother's request and with the agreement of the French governor La Richerie, he was sent with a group of young Polynesian aristocrats to France to finish his education.
