Chatham Islands Moriori

I te wāhanga tuatahi o te rau tau 1900 ko te whakapono, he iwi kē te Moriori, i mate i te taenga mai o te Māori. E whakaaehia ana ināianei, i nōhia a Wharekauri e tētahi iwi nō Aotearoa i muri mai i te tau 1300, tērā tonu pea i te takiwā o te rau tau 1500. Kātahi ka tipu tō rātou ahurea. Nā Rita Angus tēnei whakaahua e whakaatu ana i ngā kākahu o te tangata Moriori.
