塔普阿一世
塔普阿一世(法語:Tapoa I;约1772年—1812年)是塔哈岛和博拉博拉岛的酋长(1778年—1812年在位),被视为博拉博拉王国的首任君主。约1772年,他出生于博拉博拉岛,1812年9月逝世于塔希提岛。1810年9月27日,他前往埃米欧(莫雷阿岛),与周边岛屿的酋长一起支持塔希提王国国王波马雷二世复位并重返塔希提岛。1812年9月25日,当塔普阿一世身在塔希提岛时,波马雷二世在致埃米欧传教士的一封信中提到塔普阿一世即将去世。
在前往埃米欧之前,塔普阿一世已在塔哈岛指定其孙子波马雷(即未来的塔普阿二世)为继承人,并将他托付给酋长费努阿佩霍,由后者担任摄政。约1822年,即塔普阿二世与塔希提女王波马雷四世结婚[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.
