CMS was behind the repatriations to Sierra Leone and other parts of Africa, set up Hospitals in China and Japan and worked with deported convicts in the Australian penal colonies. It was during their work in Australia that the CMS first encountered New Zealand natives (Maori) leading to type 1 interactions. One Maori chief declared that he only wanted visits from Traders, Blacksmiths and Missionaries…1 Protection: It was a group of 13 Ngāpuhi’s chiefs who wrote to the King of England in 1831 inviting him to be guardian, friend, and protector of their nation. To which the British agreed, though even that would primarily be from Sydney, Australia.By 1823 Maori traders were a relatively common sight in Sydney, where the often interacted with the Australian CMS Missionaries who had established a NZ mission in 1814.  However trouble occued when a Maori owned ship was seized in Sydney for not flying a registered flag. There was also concerns about French colonisation efforts and the number of druken British and American whalers and escaped convicts making their way to New Zealand.Maori were fully aware of the British win v Napolean and overall naval domination, so it made sense to seek the alliance. Things went relatively will up to the 1850s and arguably was an example of relatively positive benign colonisation by native invitation.(after the mid 1840s though British Imperialism unfortunately raised its head, as more British settlers arrived included retired soldiers from the India campaigns. Land speculators pushed the Governors for more concessions which eventually lead to the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s)</blockquote>
