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).
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."
Tuavira Joinville was the last son of Pōmare IV, queen from 1827 to 1877, and of Ari'ifaite a Hiro, Prince consort, first cousin of the queen, and a chief from Huahine.
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. He lived in France from 1862 to 1865 and acquired a good knowledge of the French language. He also was a student interpreter for indigenous affairs.
In June 1868, he married Isabelle Vahinetua Shaw, who had a Tahitian mother and an English father.
This marriage produced one son:
