- New ZealandEarly 1800s
- When the Missionaries arrived in NZ maori tended to turn away from churches because they already had their own faith. Maori believed that certain things were tapu such as burial grounds. Although things were different with Christianity, some things were the same and the missionaries had sacred (tapu) things as well such as saying Jesus name in vain. Most of this was very new to maori and some of them werent sure what to think about the arrival of the missionaries.
- I find it very odd that the missionaries believe that burial grounds are not tapu!
- I know, I find it odd that they do not find most things tapu
