Thomas Kendall worked for the Church Missionary Society which was based in England.
I think the missionaries had a negative impact on the Māori because they would punish the students if they spoke their language (Māori).
Thomas Kendall was a christian from England and he came over to New Zealand and told the Māori that he would teach them how to read and write but even though the Māori had their own religion Thomas Kendall said that they would have to be a christian.
