 Tahu’a pure, Priests in Maohi Society - South Seas Companion Party
Until well after the establishment of Christianity in the Society Islands, Maohi men and women implicitly believed that their ancestral gods and countless spirits beings could intervene within and influence every aspect of their lives.
Maohi prayed, for example, in the hope of being rewarded with a good catch when fishing or producing good tapa cloth.
By virtue of their high-ranking lineage and thus proximity to the gods they were seen as pre-eminent in controlling the flow of spiritual power and were entrusted with undertaking the most important ceremonies in Maohi society, assisted by more lowly-born tahu’a pure and various specialist attendants.

This thesis is a study of the late prehistoric residential fare haupape -a reportedly non-elite house type of the Society Islands, French Polynesia.
