Nā Te Mātenga (Samuel Marsden) i whakatū te mīhana tuatahi a ngā Karaitiana ki Aotearoa i te tau 1814. Ahakoa te tokoiti o ngā Māori i tahuri ki te Whakapono Hōu, ka tuhia e ngā mihinare te reo Māori ki ētahi pukapuka. Ko tētahi o ngā whakahaerenga mihinare tuatahi ko te Rōpū Hāhi Mihinare (Church Missionary Society). I roto i ana pānui whai muri i te tau 1849, ka tāngia he whakaahua o te Māori me tōna ao. Kei te whārangi nei ngā whiti o te hīmene whakanui i te e 50 tau ka tū te rōpū.
