Шаблон:Use dmy dates Ana Hamu was a Māori woman of the Ngāpuhi iwi (tribe) in northern New Zealand. She was a woman of high rank. Hamu was closely related to Eruera Maihi Patuone.[1]

Hamu was baptised on 5 October 1834 by the Revd. Henry Williams and adopted the name Ana.[2]

Hamu was the widow of Te Koki,[3][4] a chief of Te Uri-o-Ngongo Hapū. They had at least two children together, Te Ahara and Rangituke. She later became the wife of the chief Pukututu.[5]

Te Koki and Hamu gave the Church Missionary Society (CMS) permission to occupy land at Paihia.[6][3][4]

Hamu gave her signature to the Treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840, and was one of only a few women to sign the treaty.[2]

She was connected with the CMS Girls' School in Paihia, where she kept the Māori children within bounds by her presence.[7]

She was believed to be approximately 60 years old when she died in 1848.[7]
