I te tau 2003 ka tīmata te kairangahau a Lisa Matisoo-Smith ki te whakamātautau mā te DNA i ngā kiore whakapakoko kei te whare o Pompallier. Koinei tētahi o ngā whare tawhito rawa ki Aotearoa. I ana rangahautanga tōmua o ngā DNA o ngā kiore, i puta tana kōrero, ko ngā whanaunga tata rawa o ngā kiore kei Aotearoa, ko ērā kei Kuki Airani me Tahiti. I haere te kiore ki Aotearoa i te taha o te tangata, nā reira koinei tētahi o ngā taunakitanga ōrite e tohu ana i haere mai ngā tāngata tōmua ki Aotearoa mai i Poronihia ki te rāwhiti.
