Notes

1. Anaru Matua [Matuakore or Matete] to Paratene Titore, 7 June 1866, McLean MSS 32/690D, cit. Lyndsay Head, ‘The Gospel of Te Ua Haumene’, unpub. article kindly sent by the author.

2. Elsmore, Mana, p.268. As has been noted, this panui was from Te Ua and Tohu, not Tawhiao. It was dated 12 Sept. 1867, He Ohaki no te Kingitanga, University of Auckland. This very obscure ohaki was also translated for me by Jeny Curnow. See also, Binney, ‘Ancestral Voices’, p. 164.

3. Rusden, III, p.219.

4. Riseborough, Days of Darkness, pp. 63–64, 85–86.

8. New Zealand Times, 18 Oct. 1881. The sources for Te Whiti’s and Tohu’s speeches are discussed in an Appendix. They will be referred to as New Zealand Times and by the surnames of the two European translators, Thompson and Hursthouse.

9. John P. Ward, Wanderings with the Maori Prophets Te Whiti and Tohu, Nelson, 1883, cit. Elsmore, Mana, p.248. Dick Scott says, Ask That Mountain. The Story of Parihaka, Auckland, 1975, p.185, that the Parihaka Maoris chanted portions of the Bible to the rhythm of the poi ‘to the present day’. It is not, however, known whether they did this last century.

10. Thompson, p.2744.

11. Only one photograph of Te Whiti is known. Riseborough says (p.7) that Te Whiti did not want any photographs taken of him. However, photographs of him were exhibited in a shop window in Wellington in 1880 (New Zealand Times, 3 March 1880).

20. Thompson, p.2718; Hursthouse, 17 Sept. 1879, wrote, ‘Jehovah is God and I his Prophet.’ The only attempt to analyse the prophets’ teaching was by Bernard Gadd, JPS, 75, 4, Dec. 1966, p.445ff. Although I agree with much that he wrote, I have not generally followed him. Most of his versions of Te Whiti’s speeches come from the New Zealand Herald and from Rusden, who also relied on that newspaper. I am not sure who wrote those reports, but Riseborough says that they were from Croumbie-Brown, who knew no Maori. Gadd’s was, however, the pioneering effort. The quotation from Tohu is from his article, p.451.
