Mere Mete Whaanga (February 15, 1848 - May 11, 1944) was a pioneer and missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in New Zealand. She was a member of the Maori tribe and helped to spread the gospel in her area after being baptized by American missionaries. On October 9, 1895, Hirini and Mere were endowed and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. The couple spent most of their free time doing ordinance work in the temple. After relocating to Salt Lake, Mere learned to write in order to maintain frequent contact with her children and parents back in Nuhaka.
