Nice place but I wonder if I could ever have a chance to experience it someday. I guess it won't ever happen in my life time not only because of vast distance but also because of strict immigration.
The Moriori are not nor ever have been a Māori tribe , they are separate Polynesian people with there own distinct culture & language. There is more in common between Cook Island Māori and NZ Māori than between Māori and Moriori .
Sorry Karfo - Moriori are Māori - no two ways about it. At one time it was believed that Moriori settled the Chatham Islands directly from Polynesian islands, but it is now clear that, like other Maori tribes (aka iwi), they travelled south from Polynesia to Aoteoroa/New Zealand. They were just another of the Māori tribes (or iwi) that lived here, like Ngāpuhi in Auckland or Ngai Tahu in the South Island. Around 1500, the Moriori moved to the Chatham Islands, east of the New Zealand mainland. They developed a partly distinct culture, due to isolation and a different physical environment. For similar reasons, there are cultural differences between Ngai Tahu and Ngāpuhi. But they are all Maori tribes.
@@JohnMacG Moriori are not a Maori tribe or an iwi, every Maori tribe has one thing in common they are the tanga ta whenua of Aotearoa or the people of the land of NZ . Moriori are not tanga ta whenua of Aotearoa they are tchakat Henu of Rekohu . Imi Moriori tribal history says they came in 2 main groups possibly more one direct from Polynesia and one from NZ , in any case they are a different Polynesian people that developed a completely different culture ,the Moriori language is a Polynesian language in its own right and not a dialect of Maori The Cook Island Maori have more in common with Maori than they do .When Ngati Mutunga and Ngati Tama invaded in 1836 they most certainly did not view Moriori as a Maori tribe but u think u know better , better even than Moriori themselves . Even when remains are returned from museums overseas itis Maori and Moriori remains not simply Maori as would be the case if they were just a tribe .
Very interesting! Thanks for a view of a place where few of us will ever have a chance to visit.
I’m Moroccan North Africa, I like to visit this place
Great clip. Wish I could give it 1000 thumbs ups!!
On top of my bucket list, been to NZ twice, amazing country, next trip will be focused on the Chathams
The sailing barquentine "Island Lilly" (Captained by Robert Carnie) was stranded there. My Grandfather was a crewman aboard at the time.
Heaven 😇😍
Nice.
Islands at the end of the world! You almost think that Jules Verne invented them. Nice vid.
Great elevator music
Not great is it! Copyright-free music is mostly pretty crappy.

Since the Covid pandemic eased, we've been welcoming tourists.

Naigtahu
Moriori are not a maori tribe , they are a related polynesian group
