- Abstract
In the article "The Forgotten Prophet: Tāmati Te Ito and His Kaingārara Movement," Jeffrey Sissons explores the life of Tāmati Te Ito, a prophet from Taranaki, New Zealand, during the 1850s and 1860s. Te Ito sought to free the land and its people from the influence of pre-Christian deities and led the Kaingārara movement. Sissons details Te Ito's efforts to cleanse sacred places, his involvement in the first Taranaki War, and his decision to join the community at Parihaka. The book provides a fresh perspective on the conflict between Taranaki iwi and the Crown, although it does not fully explore the wider prophetic context of Te Ito's actions.
