King of Taha'a and Bora Bora
Tapoa I (c. 1772–1812) was the king of the Tahitian island of Bora Bora from 1778 to 1812.[citation needed ]
He had a daughter named Maevarua, recognized as supreme chief or "Arii rahi" of Tahaa and Bora Bora. She died on July 14, 1809 in Raiatea.[ 1] He was the grandfather of Tapoa II whose mother was Maevarua. Other sources say that he was the father of Tapoa II . After the death of his daughter, the regency of his little son was entrusted to the chief Fenuapeho of Tahaa.[ 5] With the help of the other chiefs of the Leeward Islands, he provided military support to Pomare II to restore him to his lands at Tahiti in 1810. He died at the end of September 1812 in Tahiti.[ 8]
