Tuai of Ngare Raumati was probably the most written-about Māori in the first quarter of the 19th century. He was a man who lived in unstable times, who moved flexibly within European and Māori society, and who engaged with almost everyone he met, according to a French observer, with “the tact and shrewdness which enabled [him] to realise with whom he had to deal and by what means he could commend himself to all” (Dumont D’Urville in Sharp 1971: 38). His name—or a version of it—appears in most indexes of books about the pre-1830s Bay of Islands. But almost all modern references to him are in passing. Our article seeks to bring into focus this shadowy figure who played a significant role in New Zealand history, and in particular the relationships between Māori and the first Pākehā settlers in the north of New Zealand.

Ngare Raumati的Tuai：19世纪初在欧洲教书

Ngare Raumati的Tuai可能是19世纪上半叶关于毛利语的写得最多的书。根据法国观察家的说法，他是一个生活在不稳定时期的人，在欧洲和毛利人的社会中灵活移动，几乎与他遇到的每个人交往，他的“机智和机敏使他得以认识他。他必须与所有人打交道，通过什么方式他可以向所有人表扬”（Dumont D'Urville in Sharp，1971：38）。他的名字（或它的名字）出现在大多数关于1830年代以前的岛屿湾的书籍的索引中。但是几乎所有关于他的现代说法都是过去的。我们的文章力求使这位在新西兰历史上，尤其是毛利人和新西兰北部最早的帕克哈（Pākehā）移民者之间起着重要作用的身影figure目。
