The Moriori are the Maori inhabitants of the Chatham Islands and their descendants still live there today. In 1835 war parties of Taranaki tribes Ngati Mutunga and Ngati Tama were brought to the Chatham Islands by European ships. In their isolation from the mainland the Moriori had developed a pacifist society so were unable to defend themselves from the violent assault by the invaders. The Moriori were variously killed, eaten and enslaved.

The Moriori people were an indigenous community in Chatham Islands, New Zealand. They faced conflict and were eventually conquered by Maori tribes in the 1830s. This led to the decimation of their population and loss of their traditional way of life.
