Samuel Williams made great sacrifices to break in the rugged land at Te Aute in Central Hawke’s Bay and to establish a Christian-based schooling system that helped pave the way for a 20th century Maori renaissance.
Williams’ impressive contribution to New Zealand’s pioneering history stands proudly alongside that of his father, the often maligned Henry Williams, who for two decades headed the Church Missionary Society (CMS) mission in New Zealand.
