TheMorioriare the indigenous people of theChatham Islands(RēkohuinMoriori;WharekauriinMāori). Moriori arePolynesiansettlers who came from theNew Zealandmainland around 1500 CE.[3][4]which was close to the time of the shift from the archaic to the classical period of Polynesian Māori culture on the mainland.[5][6]Oral tradition records migration to the Chathams in the 16th century.[7][8]The settlers' culture diverged from mainland Māori, and they developed a distinctMoriori languagemythology, artistic expression and way of life.[9]Currently there are around 700 people who identify as Moriori, most of whom no longer live on the Chatham Islands.[10]During the late 19th century some prominent anthropologists proposed that Moriori werepre-Māori settlersof mainland New Zealand, and possiblyMelanesianin origin.[11][12]

Early Moriori formed tribal groups based on eastern Polynesian social customs and organisation. Later, a prominentpacifistculture emerged; this was known as the law ofnunuku,based on the teachings of the 16th century Moriori leaderNunuku-whenua.[13]This culture made it easier forTaranakiMāori invaders to massacre them in the 1830s during theMusket Wars.This was theMoriori genocide,in which the Moriori were either murdered or enslaved by members of theNgāti MutungaandNgāti Tamaiwi,[14]killing or displacing nearly 95% of the Moriori population.

The Moriori, however, were not extinct, and gainedarohaand recognition as New Zealand's secondindigenous peopleduring the next century. Their culture and language underwent a revival, and Moriori names for their islands were prioritised. In February 2020, the New Zealand government signed a treaty with tribal leaders, giving them rights enshrined in law and the Moriori people at large an apology, returning stolen remains of those killed in the genocide, and gifting NZD$18 million in reparations.[15][16]On 23 November 2021, the New Zealand government passed in law the treaty between Moriori and the Crown.[17]The law is called the Moriori Claims Settlement Bill. It includes an agreed summary history that begins with the words "Moriorikarāpuna(ancestors) were thewaina-pono(original inhabitants) ofRēkohu,Rangihaute,Hokorereoro(South East Island), and other nearby islands (making up the Chatham Islands). They arrived sometime between 1000 and 1400 CE. "[18]

History

[edit]

Origin

[edit]

The Moriori are ethnicallyPolynesian.They developed a distinct Moriori culture in theChatham Islandsas they adapted to local conditions. Although speculation once suggested that they settled the Chatham Islands directly from the tropical Polynesian islands, current research indicates that ancestral Moriori wereMāoriPolynesians who emigrated to the Chatham Islands from mainland New Zealand around 1500 CE.[19][20][21][22]

Evidence supporting this theory comes from the characteristics that theMoriori languagehas in common with the dialect of Māori spoken by theNgāi Tahutribe of theSouth Island,and comparisons of the genealogies of Moriori ( "hokopapa") and Māori ("whakapapa"). Prevailing wind patterns in the southern Pacific add to the speculation that the Chatham Islands were the last part of the Pacific to be settled during the period of Polynesian discovery and colonisation.[19][23]The wordMorioriderives from Proto-Polynesian*ma(a)qoli,which has the reconstructed meaning "true, real, genuine". It iscognatewith theMāori languagewordMāori[24]and likely also had the meaning "(ordinary) people".

Adapting to local conditions

[edit]
Moriori designs carved into trees and rock

The Chathams are colder and less hospitable than the land the original settlers left behind, and although abundant in resources, these were different from those available where they had come from. The Chathams proved unsuitable for the cultivation of most crops known to Polynesians, and the Moriori adopted ahunter-gathererlifestyle. Food was almost entirely marine-sourced — protein and fat from fish,fur seals,and the fatty young of sea birds. The islands supported about 2,000 people.[25]

Moriori tree carving ordendroglyph

Lacking resources of cultural significance such asgreenstoneand plentiful timber, they found outlets for their ritual needs in the carving ofdendroglyphs(incisions into tree trunks, calledrakau momori). Typically, most Moriori dendroglyphs depict a human form, but there are also other patterns depicting fish and birds.[26]Some of these carvings are protected by theHāpūpū / J M Barker Historic Reserve.[26]

As a small and precarious population, Moriori embraced apacifistculturethat rigidly avoided warfare, replacing it with dispute resolution in the form ofritualfighting andconciliation.[27]The ban on warfare and cannibalism is attributed to their ancestorNunuku-whenua.

...because men get angry and during such anger feel the will to strike, that so they may, but only with a rod the thickness of a thumb, and one stretch of the arms length, and thrash away, but that on an abrasion of the hide, or first sign of blood, all should consider honour satisfied.

— Oral tradition[27]

This enabled the Moriori to preserve what limited resources they had in their harsh climate, avoiding waste through warfare. However, this lack of training in warfare also led to their later near-destruction at the hands of invading North Island Māori.

Moriori castrated some male infants in order to control population growth.[28]

European contact (1791–1835)

[edit]

The first Europeans to make contact with the Moriori were the crew ofHMSChathamon 29 November 1791, while on its voyage to the northern Pacific from England, viaDusky Sound.TheChatham'scaptain,William R. Broughton,named the islands after his ship and claimed them forGreat Britain.The landing party came to shore in Kaingaroa Harbour on the far Northeast coast of Chatham Island.[29][30]The Moriori at first retreated into the forest once the Europeans landed. Seventy years later the Europeans would be recalled in Moriori oral tradition as containing the god of fire, given the pipes they were smoking and likely female from the clothes they were wearing. It was this interpretation that led to the men returning from the forest to meet the landing party. A brief period of hostility was quickly calmed by the crew putting gifts on the end of Moriori spears, though attempts at trade were unsuccessful. After exploring the area for water the crew again became fearful of Moriori aggression.[31]Some misunderstanding led to an escalation of violence and one Moriori was shot and killed.[30][32]HMSChathamthen left the island with all its crew. Both the diary of Broughton and local oral tradition record that both sides regretted the incident and to some extent blamed themselves for overreacting.[32]

It was this regret in part that led to good relations when the next ships arrived in the islands sometime between 1804 and 1807. They weresealersfrom Sydney and word of their welcome soon gave the Moriori a reputation of being friendly. During this time at least one Moriori visited the New Zealand mainland and returned home with knowledge of theMāori.As more ships came, sealing gangs were also left behind on the islands for months at a time. Sealers andwhalerssoon made the islands a centre of their activities, competing for resources with the native population. Pigs and potatoes were introduced to the islands. However, the seals that had religious significance and provided food and clothing to the Moriori were all but wiped out.[33]European men intermarried with Moriori. Māori arrivals created their own village at Wharekauri which became the Māori name for the Chatham Islands.[34]

The local population was estimated at 1,600 in the mid-1830s with about 10% and 20% of the population having died from infectious diseases such as influenza.

Invasion by Taranaki Māori (1835–1868)

[edit]
Main articles:Moriori genocideandMusket Wars
Moriori people in the late 19th century: these three men (standing) are wearing a mix of traditional and European clothing. They carry defensive staffs and wearflaxmats around the waist and shoulders, feathers on the front of the head, and albatross tufts in their beards.

In 1835 some displacedNgāti MutungaandNgāti Tama,fromTaranaki,but living inWellington,invaded the Chathams. On 19 November 1835, the brigLord Rodney,a hijacked[35]European ship, arrived carrying 500 Māori (men, women and children) with guns, clubs and axes, and loaded with 78 tonnes of potatoes for planting, followed by another load, by the same ship, of 400 more Taranaki Māori on 5 December 1835. Before the second shipment of people arrived, the invaders killed a 12-year-old girl and hung her flesh on posts.[36]They proceeded to enslave some Moriori and kill andcannibaliseothers,committing a genocide.With the arrival of the second group "parties of warriors armed with muskets, clubs and tomahawks, led by their chiefs, walked through Moriori tribal territories and settlements without warning, permission or greeting. If the districts were wanted by the invaders, they curtly informed the inhabitants that their land had been taken and the Moriori living there were now vassals."[37]

Ahuior council of Moriori elders was convened at the settlement called Te Awapatiki. Despite knowing that the Māori did not share their pacifism, and despite the admonition by some of the elder chiefs that the principle of Nunuku was not appropriate now, two chiefs — Tapata and Torea — declared that "the law of Nunuku was not a strategy for survival, to be varied as conditions changed; it was a moral imperative."[37]Although this council decided in favour of peace, the invading Māori inferred it was a prelude to war, as was common practice during theMusket Wars.This precipitated a massacre, most complete in theWaitangiarea followed by anenslavementof the Moriori survivors.[38]

A Moriori survivor recalled: "[The Taranaki invaders] commenced to kill us like sheep.... [We] were terrified, fled to the bush, concealed ourselves in holes underground, and in any place to escape our enemies. It was of no avail; we were discovered and killed – men, women and children indiscriminately." A Taranaki Māori conqueror explained, "We took possession... in accordance with our customs and we caught all the people. Not one escaped....."[39]The invaders ritually killed some 10% of the population, a ritual that included staking out[clarification needed]women and children on the beach and leaving them to die in great pain over several days.[35]

During the following enslavement the Taranaki Māori invaders forbade the speaking of the Moriori language. They forced Moriori to desecrate their sacred sites by urinating and defecating on them.[35]Moriori were forbidden to marry Moriori or the Taranaki Māori, or to have children with each other. This was different from the customary form ofslaverypractised on mainland New Zealand.[40]However, many Moriori women had children by their Māori masters. A small number of Moriori women eventually married either Māori or European men. Some were taken from the Chathams and never returned. In 1842 a small party of Māori and their Moriori slaves migrated to the subantarcticAuckland Islands,surviving for some 20 years on sealing and flax growing.[41][42]Only 101 Moriori out of a population of about 2,000 were left alive by 1862, making theMoriori genocideone of thedeadliest in historyby percentage of the victim group.[43]

Dispersal and assimilation

[edit]
Tommy Solomon,acknowledged as the last Moriori of unmixed ancestry

The Moriori were free from slavery by the end of the 1860s which gave them opportunities for self determination, but their small population led to a gradual dilution of their culture. Only a handful of men still understood theMoriori languageand culture from before the invasion. The younger generation spoke Māori, while still identifying themselves as Moriori. While attempts were made to record the Moriori culture for posterity, it was generally believed that it would never again be a living way of life. By 1900 there would only be twelve people in the Chatham Islands who identified themselves as Moriori.[44]Although the last Moriori of unmixed ancestry,Tommy Solomon,died in 1933,[45]there are several thousand mixed ancestry Moriori alive today.

In the2001 New Zealand census,585 people identified as Moriori. The population increased to 942 in the2006 censusand declined to 738 in the2013 census.[46]The2018 censusestimated the Moriori population as 996.[1]

Waitangi Tribunal claim

[edit]

In the late 1980s some Moriori descendants made claims against the New Zealand government through theWaitangi Tribunal.[47][48]The Tribunal is charged with making recommendations on claims brought by Māori relating to actions or omissions ofthe Crownin the period since 1840, which breach the promises made in theTreaty of Waitangi.These claims were the first time the Tribunal had to choose between competing claims of two indigenous groups. The main focus of the claim was the British annexation of the islands in 1842, the inaction of the Government to reports of Moriori being kept in slavery and the awarding of 97% of the islands toNgāti Mutungain 1870 by theNative Land Court.[48]

In 1992, while the Moriori claim was active, theSealords fisheries dealceded a third of New Zealand's fisheries to Māori, but prevented any further treaty fishery claims. This occurred against the backdrop of Māori, Moriori andPākehāChatham Islanders all competing for fishing rights, while working together to exclude international and mainland interests. Therefore, it was believed that the result of the Tribunals verdict on the ownership of the Chatham Islands may improve the Moriori ability to acquire some of the allotted fishing rights from the Sealords deal. The Moriori claims were heard between May 1994 and March 1996 and the verdict was strongly in favour of the Moriori case.[49]

This in turn led to an NZ$18 million deal between the Crown and Moriori in 2017. The Crown and Moriori subsequently signed a Deed of Settlement on 13 August 2019.[50][51]In November 2021, the New Zealand Parliament passed the Moriori Claims Settlement Bill, which completed theTreaty of Waitangiprocess of the Moriori. Under the terms of the legislation, the settlement package includes a formal Crown apology, the transfer of culturally and spiritually significant lands to Moriori as cultural redress, financial compensation of NZ$18 million, and shared redress such as the vesting of 50 percent ofTe Whanga Lagoon.[52][53]

Culture and marae

[edit]

Today, despite the difficulties that the Moriori have faced, their culture is enjoying a renaissance, both in the Chatham Islands and New Zealand's mainland. This has been symbolised with the renewal of the Covenant of Peace at the new Kōpingamaraein January 2005 on Chatham Island.[54]As of 2016, the marae has registered almost 800 Moriori descendants, with more than 3000 associated children.[55]The Kopinga meeting place and Hokomenetai meeting house are based in the town ofWaitangi,also on Chatham Island.[56]

In 2001, work began on preserving the vocabulary and songs of the Moriori people.[57][58]They also received a $6 million grant from the Government to preserve their culture and language.[59]The albatross remains important in Moriori culture: it is seen in the design of the Kōpingamaraeand its feathers are worn in the hair of some Moriori as a sign of peace.[57][58]The relationship between the Moriori and Ngāti Mutunga is improving, and non-violence remains a cornerstone of the Moriori self image.[57][60]

In 2002, land on the east coast of Chatham Island was purchased by the Crown (the Taia property). It is now a reserve and jointly managed by Moriori and the Crown. The Moriori are also actively involved with preserving therakau momori(tree carvings) on the islands.[58]

Language

[edit]
Main article:Moriori language

English and, to a lesser extent, Māori are spoken by Moriori today. The now extinctMoriori languagewasEastern Polynesianand closely related toMāoriandCook Island Māoriwith which it was mutually intelligible. It shared about 70% of its vocabulary with Māori; however, there were significant differences in grammar and pronunciation.[61][62]There are modern attempts at creating learning materials to ensure the survival of what remains of the language.[57][63]

Political organisation

[edit]

In 2001, the two main political groups of Moriori united to form the Hokotehi Moriori Trust;[58][64]however, some internal disputes remain.[65]TheNew Zealand Governmentrecognises the Hokotehi Moriori Trust as having the mandate to represent Moriori inTreaty of Waitangisettlement negotiations. It is also a mandatediwiorganisation under the Māori Fisheries Act 2004 and a recognised iwi aquaculture organisation in the Māori Commercial Aquaculture Claims Settlement Act 2004. The trust represents Moriori as an "iwi authority" for resource consents under theResource Management Act 1991,and is aTūhonoorganisation. The charitable trust is managed by ten trustees, with representation from both theChatham Islands,and theNorth IslandandSouth Island.It is based atOwengaon Chatham Island.[56]

[edit]

Based on the writing ofPercy SmithandElsdon Bestfrom the late 19th century, theories grew up that theMāori had displaced a more primitive pre-Māori populationof Moriori (sometimes described as a small-statured, dark-skinned race of possibleMelanesianorigin), in mainland New Zealand – and that theChatham IslandMoriori were the last remnant of this earlier race. These theories also favoured the supposedly more recent and more technically able Māori. This was used to justifyraciststereotyping,colonisation,and conquest by cultural "superiors".[66][67]From the view of European settlers this served the purpose of undermining the notion of the Māori as the indigenous people of New Zealand, making them just one in a progression of waves of migration and conquest by increasingly more civilised people.[66][67]

The hypothesis of a racially distinct pre-Māori Moriori people was criticised in the 20th century by a number of historians, anthropologists and ethnologists; among them anthropologistH. D. Skinnerin 1923,[68]ethnologistRoger Duffin the 1940s,[69]historian and ethnographer Arthur Thomson in 1959,[70]as well asMichael KinginMoriori: A People Rediscoveredin 2000,James Belichin 2002,[71]and K. R. Howe inTe Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand.[69]

The idea of Moriori arriving earlier and being vastly distinct from Māori was widely published in the early 20th century.[72]Crucially, this story was also promoted in a series of three articles in theNew Zealand School Journalof 1916,[11]and the 1934A. W. ReedschoolbookThe Coming of the Maori to Ao-tea-roa[11]—and therefore became familiar to generations of schoolchildren. This in turn has been repeated by the media and politicians.[73]However, at no point has this idea completely dominated the discussion, with the academic consensus slowly gaining more public awareness over the 20th century.[74]

The 2004David MitchellnovelCloud Atlas,and its2012 film adaptionboth featured the enslavement of Moriori by the Māori on the Chatham Islands in the mid-19th century. The film adaption stars David Gyasi as "Autua", a Moriori slave, in spite of the fact Gyasi isBritish of Ghanaian descentand bears no physical resemblance to Moriori people. Scholar Gabriel S. Estrada criticised the depiction of Māori slave culture as being incorrectly depicted in a similar manner toslavery in the United States,featuring enslaved Moriori working onplantationssimilar to those in theAmerican South.[75]The interchangeability of these two practices has been noted by historians as being a common misconception in popular culture.[76]
