- Paora participates in a debate through the pages of the Journal of the Polynesian Society concerning the meaning of the word Māori, which was precipitated by A. S. Atkinson’s paper "What is a Tangata Māori?" (published in the Journal of the Polynesian Society 1 (1892): 133). Tuta Tamati wrote ‘A Reply to Mr A. S. Atkinson’s Paper "What is a Tangata Māori?"’ (in Journal of the Polynesian Society 2 (1893): 60-63) and Paora takes issue with Tamati’s contention that Māori is a modern word and was not used prior to European settlement.
