塔普阿一世

塔普阿一世(法語:Tapoa I;約1772年—1812年)是塔哈島博拉博拉島酋長(1778年—1812年在位),被視為博拉博拉王國的首任君主英語List of monarchs of Bora Bora。約1772年,他出生於博拉博拉島,1812年9月逝世於大溪地島。1810年9月27日,他前往埃米歐(莫雷阿島),與周邊島嶼的酋長一起支持大溪地王國國王波馬雷二世復位並重返大溪地島。1812年9月25日,當塔普阿一世身在大溪地島時,波馬雷二世在致埃米歐傳教士的一封信中提到塔普阿一世即將去世。

在前往埃米歐之前,塔普阿一世已在塔哈島指定其孫子波馬雷英語Tapoa II(即未來的塔普阿二世)為繼承人,並將他託付給酋長費努阿佩霍,由後者擔任攝政。約1822年,即塔普阿二世與大溪地女王波馬雷四世結婚[1][2][3]

Papeiti Taheiti Friday September 25th 1812 My dear friend, War will perhaps soon commence in the district of Papara [...] Tapoa is at the point of death: he can eat nothing and knows nobody. I am also ill myself and have no appetite for food. I was taken ill about 3 o'clock on Monday morning last. My affliction is great, but if I can only obtain God's favor before I die, I shall count myself well off. But should I die with my sins unpardoned it will be ill indeed with me. O may my sins be pardoned, and my soul saved through Jesus Christ! And may Jehovah regard me before I die, and then I shall rejoice, because I have obtained the favor of Jehovah. My Jehovah and Jesus Christ. Bless us all. Pomare

Tapoa going up to Tahiti to fight for Pomare left one of his own family of the Faanue in the government of Tahaa. He had charge of a grandson of Tapoa's, who was married, I believe, while the deputation was here, to the young Queen of Tahiti; Tapoa died at Tahiti before the gospel was generally received, the islands still unsettled commenced at his own place. While finishing his vessel the chief who held for him the government of Tahaa was lost at sea, of which no doubt you have heard. He then took the government into his own hands.
