The Moriori genocide occurred primarily due to the invasion of the Chatham Islands by Māori from New Zealand in the mid-19th century. The Māori sought land and resources, leading to violent conflicts with the indigenous Moriori people, who had a pacifist culture and did not resist militarily. As a result, many Moriori were killed or enslaved, and their population drastically declined. This tragic event highlights the impact of colonialism and inter-tribal warfare in the Pacific region.

Did the maori eat the moriori?

There is no evidence to suggest that the Maori specifically ate the Moriori. The Moriori were a Polynesian people who lived on the Chatham Islands, and they were eventually subjugated and absorbed by the invading Maori in the 1830s. The interactions between the two groups were complex and included conflict, but it is not accurate to say that the Maori as a whole ate the Moriori.
