'A book to be treasured for the access it gives us to a little-known corner of the New Zealand experience.' Tipene O'Regan, Evening Post This award-winning, trail-blazing book by Michael King restored the Moriori of the Chatham Islands to their rightful place in New Zealand, Pacific and world history. This revised edition contains material that has come to light since first publication. 'King has set the record straight in a richly readable and often moving account of a long ignored sideshow to the history of our country.' Gordon McLauchlan, National Business Review 'It is authoritative but it is also popular history in the best sense, and that is precisely what is needed to clear away the brambles of racial prejudice and historical error which have all but overwhelmed the subject in the past.' Atholl Anderson, Otago Daily Times 'This book decisively strips away all the muddle . . . a clear, thoroughly readable and honest history of the Moriori.' Judith Binney, Sunday Star 'A timely book which must be read so that we will all know more about ourselves and about us as a nation.' Hirini Moko Mead, Dominion

Moriori : Origins, Lifestyles and Language is the outcome of independent personal research by Rhys Richards since 1960. Although they were the last part of the habitable world to receive human residents, the Chatham Islands at 44 degrees south, are windy and wet, but in no way sub Antarctic. Tradition records that four double-canoes drifted to Rekohu, apparently before AD 1500, after which no further canoes and people arrived for three to four hundred years. The canoe people were all East Polynesians who mixed to become Tch Hiti and later were called Moriori. Despite their tropical origins, they soon developed sophisticated lifestyles as efficient huntergatherers who shifted from place to place in small groups to make the best use of seasonably available resources. Their foods came mainly from the sea and the lakes, plus prolific kopi nuts and fern roots. They developed simple tools well suited to their mobile lifestyles. There were at least 2,000 Moriori when the first foreigners visited in 1791, followed by sealers from about 1810. Two Maori tribes fleeing from musket wars in New Zealand invaded Rekohu in 1835. The Moriori, a very sacred people, obeyed their traditional vows never to kill anyone, so not one of the Maori invaders was killed. However in order to establish their perceived rights of conquest, the Maori killed over 200 Moriori and enslaved the survivors, who were often treated harshly. Few Moriori women had Moriori children. Slavery continued until 1855 and intimidation until about 1870. By then most of the Moriori had died, disheartened and deserted by their gods, while foreign diseases killed many. The few Moriori who had survived, under 100, were treated as doomed, and in 1870 the Land Courts allowed them only 3% of their former land. The last Moriori without any foreign genes died in 1933. By then the Moriori language was extinct. A few words had been collected before 1887, but no grammar. These remnants show that the Moriori language was closely similar to Maori, but with very different pronunciation, and was also similar to the old language of Easter Island.

Excerpt from The Morioris of Chatham Islands My attention was first turned to the material culture of the Morioris about the year 1906. The view that then prevailed in New Zealand, a view which has been supported by the weighty authority of Percy Smith was that the ancestors Of the Morioris were representatives Of the earliest ethnic wave into New Zealand, whence they had been driven by later and more warlike immigrants from Tahiti. If this were the true account Of their origin, and the Morioris did represent the earliest stratum Of mankind in New Zealand, it was evident that a study Of their social system, of their religion, and of their art would yield results of the first importance in any attempt that might be made to write the history of society. Religion, or material culture in New Zealand. There were, however, several facts which seemed to indicate that the problem Of Maori and Moriori origins was not so simple as the current explanation assumed. That explanation was based on traditional evidence derived from the Maoris, for Moriori tradition was vague and uncertain. The Maori tradition stated that the people whom the Tahitians found in New Zealand were black and that their culture was extremely primitive. But Moriori culture, though simple, was not in any way more primitive than that Of the Maoris. And since a series of investigations in Moriori craniology had shown that the Morioris were in no degree less Polynesian than the Maoris, it became evident the Maori traditional account was not in consonance with the facts, and that an examination Of all other lines of evidence was called for.

A comparison of the Maori, Moriori and Tongan languages and a short account of where Tangaroa came from and the surrounding history. Thor Heyerdahl's account of the white gods of Peru that came to the Pacific around 500 AD sparked this book which includes a lot of Tongan oral history I have picked up from my grandmother and other storytellers as a kid in Tonga. Some explanations of why I think that Thor Heyerdahl was right that there was also a migration from South America into the Pacific Islands. A list of sources for further reading is provided.
