Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost World of Rēkohu explores the extraordinary fossil record of one of the most remote regions of the planet—the Chatham Islands. Once the home of the mysterious Moriori people, this archipelago approximately 850km east of mainland New Zealand preserves a rock archive from a dynamic time in Earth’s history when the southern continents were land-locked together near the South Pole 100 million years ago. Isolated for 83 million years, we now know since the dawn of the new millennium that this ancient region was heavily forested with both avian and non-avian dinosaurs, and the warm waters hosted the largest sea monsters—marine reptiles—that ever lived. This diversity of life on land and in the sea tells a tale never told before in Zealandia, the Moriori’s magical land of the ‘Misty Skies’.
