| "Early Hokianga was different. A unique blend of Ngćapuhi Mćaori, kauri milling settlers, and Wesleyan missionaries. Drawing upon modern scholarly insights, Methodist historian, Gary Clover, investigates the nature of culture change and Mćaori conversion from 1827 1855 during New Zealands early contact era. He narrates an absorbing tale of Mćaori and Pćakeha inter-relationships, colourful personalities, and their foresight and failures. He explores how Hokianga Mćaori, amidst immense turmoil and change, adopted and Mćaorified European technology, culture, and Christianity. Also how William White, a little known, extra ordinary Wesleyan Mission Superintendent, moved far beyond the traditional missionary mould to help retain his Mihanere chiefs tribal lands. They entrusted White with large tracts to hold in trust. At Mćangungus chapel, school, farm, and sawyers pits, they learnt skills to participate in the new economy, becoming competitive against their European rivals. But Whites personality flaws and his opponents saw him dismissed in 1836. And outside forces by 1855 brought about the end of all three original Hokianga mission stations. A well researched, scholarly, and detailed analysis of culture change and Mćaori conversion in a region professional historians have largely neglected."--Publisher description. |
