- Description
Shows a scene near Hauraki, 9 April 1851, with Archdeacon Brown and members of the Tauranga tribes, including an orator (probably Wiremu Tamihana Tarapipipi Te Waharoa) in the centre, who gestures with an upraised arm and a spear in his other hand. On the other side of the stream that runs between the two groups of men is another Church Missionary Society missionary, who negotiates for local tribes, whose members stand around him. Some of the Maoris' clothing is coloured pink, or pink and white-striped. Most of them hold either spears or rifles

Based on the wood engraving 'Reconciliation of hostile New Zealand tribes' [1851] by J Johnston, London, 1884 (the original arist is unknown). A copy of the engraving appeared in the Church Missionary Gleaner, first in no. 5, May 1852, p.49, and also in February 1884, p.22. (See Publ-0006-1884-022)
