Makea Pori Ariki (b?–1839) was a sovereign of the Cook Islands. He was the ''ariki'' (king or high chief) of the ''Makea Nui'' (Great Makea) dynasty, one of the three chiefdoms of the ''Te Au O Tonga'' tribe on the island of Rarotonga. He succeeded his father Makea Tinirau Ariki after his death in 1823. In the same year, the English missionary John Williams arrived at Rarotonga, intending to convert the population to Christianity. After agreeing to destroy their temple and the pagan idols of his tribe, Makea Pori Ariki was baptized in 1825. He died 28 October 1839 and was succeeded by his eldest son Makea Davida. ==See also== *History of the Cook Islands *House of Ariki 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Makea Pori Ariki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
