Tangiteroria: Crucible of the Kaipara: 1836-54: Missionary Impulse \u0026 Impact By Stephen Fordyce Hardcover 9780473150068 Tangiteroria: Crucible of the Kaipara: 1836 54: Missionary Impulse \u0026 Impact An English Missionary, a French Priest and a Maori chief are the protagonists in the illuminating historical dram or conflicting religious beliefs and cultural s. All three were strong minded, self confident, shrewd and intelligent men, but had little else in common. The stage on which their tension filled encounters played out was the small settlement of Tangiteroria, situated between modern day Dargaville and Whangarei. The bargaining, misunderstandings and hostilities that occurred there during a few short years before and after 1840 were to affect Maori and European settlement in the wider environs of the Kaipara Harbour down to the present. Paramount chief Te Tirarau Kukupa, of Te Parawhau, held sway in the rohe on behalf of his people Usually of mild demeanour, he became an awesome antagonist when crossed A former cannibal who continued to practice polygamy, Tirarau was adamant that he would live and die faithful to the spiritual beliefs of his ancestors. Paradoxically the prize of winning this influential chiefs conversion set Weslyan missionary James Buller and Catholic priest Antoine Garin on a course of conflict. Each wished to gain Maori converts to his own concept of the Christian God. Each was responding to a personal moral imperative that would not readily admit compromise. The degree to which these two men met their objectives, and the manner of Te Tiraraus response, along with that of other chiefs, are at the core of this fresh look at a little known aspect of a vital and intriguing period of New Zealand history.
