New upload time and completely new subject for the channel. Bit of a controversial issue this one with a huge amount of pseudo-history and wild claims out there. Some of which I address directly in the film.
This doc is based on the latest historical and archaeological evidence. I’ve been working on it for a couple of years and visited many of the places involved in person. Credible comments are welcome, by those with a genuine interest in history, not fantasy like giants and ancient aliens. Topics with no credible evidence have no place on this channel.
I’m a one man team so please like, subscribe etc if you enjoyed the vid and let me know in the comments what you’d like to see covered in the future.
I'm glad you posted an actual history video this time.
Last time, you posted a video claiming that Jericho is 12,000 years old.
Of course, this is not true because the entire Earth is only about 6,000 years old according to the Bible.
A city cannot be older than the Earth.

Im a moari bro this sounds about rite...plumm is abit out outthhere 4 my taste...watched alot of ur vids. Sound lodgic
Oh come on. We all know the Chinese were the first to get there, along with Australia.
@@tylerb9877 The bible does not have dates. The "date" was a calculation made in 1652, but the guy who did it failed to take into acount that ancient humans lived for tens of thousands of years, and only started having children when they were at least twenty five thousand years old. They were not physically capable of it before that age. That is why human populations were so small back then, most people were eaten by bears long before they could start making babies.
An easy mistake to make, especially considering that people in 1652 knew less than what we know today.
You forgot Niue Island on your map,a place Cook failed to land on,due to the people getting word of his impending arrival. They made human like figures and sat them in Vaka (Canoes) and smeared their mouths with the red dye of the Pandan leaf,Cook thought they were Cannibal savages,and then Named it Savage Island,Niue is my homeland.
That is so interesting! I am going to ask my Niuean work mate if she knows this.
Maori are the best
@@rachaelbean4130 Ive heard this account also...

@@MistaCUNextTuesday Love TA! good memories good surfs out there
Absolutely love the artwork! Youre right, it is very similar in some regards to scandinavian, thats interesting.
What a lovely programme. I loved that picture of the Maori couple with their 10 children.
the natives would murder their baby girls by pressing the crown of their head in after birth because they wanted boys at the time, their customs and traditions were put to a stop thank God and now they have a new culture of LAW & ORDER!
Nice video bro really enjoyed it. As a person who was taught the Mori Ori were the first people and a person deeply interested in the history of his country, can you link any references you have on this topic?
Sorry for the book mate
The Penguin History of New Zealand by Michael King is a great place to start.
As a Maori we even tell of how we were greeted by white people who were native to this land. There's still some descendants called the waka blondes. The mori ori are just Maori who were there but settled in chat an islands.
Maori were not the first people in New Zeeland. Tall, blond Aryans were already living there. The ancient Aryans of New Zealand were there long before the Maori. They were almost all exterminated and erased, but some survived and are still there today. Watch the documentary Skeletons in the Cupboard. They were originally from Persia, but arrived in New Zealand from South America. In ancient times, there were advanced, sea-faring people who travelled the whole world. They built cities everywhere. They were Aryans. The lost tribes.
@@koninginvictoriawhere's the proof of that lmao Māoris were on the land first and white people of course came and ruined it with the diseases and greed don't try to reverse it
Thank you for taking the time to do a history class on us.
Indeed
@Ariadne /Lady Lettie I wonder if he "forgot to mention" or simply did not have the resources or time to properly research NZ's history - pre colonisation. If done right - that's like a 10 ep series in itself imho. Not to worry though! NZ's true history coming to a school near you. This is where we will raise our own informed lil story tellers 🥰
you forgot the doctrine of discovery... as a fellow nz maori, this is easily the most important part of the colonisation of Aotearoa..
there are unusual rock formations that nobody has been able to explain.
Thousands of years ago a group of BC Indigenous people were invaded by another nation and some of my Nu7lhalk people jumped into their ocean going longboats and set sail into the Pacific, some of them reached what is now New Zealand. You can find Rock carvings there that are the same as the ones in my Nu7lhalk territory.
So your timeline of 800 years is really short on the Pacific history.
nope. there is no evidence of humans in new zealand until the late 1200s.
Back in the '60s, I was having a conversation with a Maori Chief and he told me that there were people in NZ before the Maori. Conflict ensued and the original inhabitants were killed and sometimes eaten. He jokingly said in those days, we would have you for dinner rather than to dinner.
that has been shown to be incorrect.
I watch your vids over and over ...thanks
What about the light skin redheaded race that were on the island of NZ as well as in Hawaii. Their relatives still exist in NZ and are discriminated by the Maori and refuse to allow the redheaded people to land rights or archaeological investigations.
It's arguable the name 'Aotearoa' isn't a name from the 13th Century. Or even the 18rh.
Very informative video!
The Māori Cannibals ate the gentle tribe that was before them, you forgot to mention.
that's a myth. there were no people in nz before the eastern polynesian ancestors of maori began arriving around 1250AD.
it's common knowledge there were people here before moari
Truth is being Suppressed. My question is. whats the reason.
Yea but we maoris eat them lol
Racist myth actually buddy. I suggest you read "the Moriori in popular culture" section in the wiki of Moriori. The Moriori split off from Maori but their enslavement was used to justify racism for centuries, and still is today. In schools they taught that the Maori displaced the Moriori that were in New Zealand. This is not true. Moriori culture was separate but still descended from Maori culture on the mainland. There were no human settlers before the people that came to call themselves Maori!
watch skeletons in the cupboard NZ it's on the tube
Real good bar the pronounciation and the fact you referred to the Australian Aboriginals as hunter-gatherers; because, if I'm not mistaken, they were the some of the world's most efficient Agriculturists.
But, again, real good.
Real... *frickin'*... good.
If Aboriginal can be slightly miss represented , can you see how others can be. Sorry so much was factually wrong & you can't keep blaming our education system.
@@jillfoster900 Sorry, but, when did an education system become a part of the conversation?
@@lawn_moa it was mentioned in the doco on NZ in regards to Moriori and when I challenged History Time, they replied that our education system is at fault & we have been fed a myth for years. Hence this discussion has developed.
@@jillfoster900 Ok, sure, but what does that have to do with this comment?
Real nice!
Wrong and damaging information, there were different clans and tribes living here at least 2-4, thousand years before the maori arrived.
definitely not. there is no evidence of any such people and no legitimate scientists or historian will agree with you.
"Skeletons in the cupboard" is a far better documentary than anything put out by modern academia.
no, that is made up fantasy nonsense from kooks and unqualified amateurs, presented by a british children's book author who lives in australia.
@@eeeaten excellent. Thank you for your "opinion"...
@@Theggman83 if you'd care to discuss any of the "facts" i'd be only too happy to oblige :)

Bud the tribes of New Zealand had contacts with the Aboriginal people of Victoria Australia and the North and South America.
John Taylor the Polynesians sailed to North America?
Matt Gaskill bruva they came from around there lad. Around Hawaii and they obviously came around South America because they brought potatoes(native to America and South America) to New Zealand 🤷🏽♂️ they sailed the great pacific numerous times so they obviously would’ve bumped into other people’s
@@yep9657 well they had sweet potatoes. Regular potatoes were introduced by Europeans.
batt3ryac1d no they weren’t research it
Jeri Brown Maori grew kumara (sweet potato) the English bought the potatoes
There were also people in New Zealand before Māori they called them Moriori I think the had migrated from South America earlier AD
no. the first people of new zealand were the polynesian ancestors of maori, and began arriving from around 1250AD. there is no evidence of humans in new zealand before that. moriori were/are polynesian also, and are closely related to maori. they are descended from the same people as maori, and went to the chatham islands around 1500AD.
The Moriori are Polynesians and they’re still here…
As a child in the 1960's I had a pen-pal in New Zealand. I was perhaps 10 years old and my pen-pal was quite a bit older at about 17. She wrote back to me and told me that I might be more satisfied with someone my own age, so it began that I started corresponding with her younger sister who was my age.
She lived on a farm on the north island. I remember her 'post' or address read 'Te Amwanutu' or something like that.
I remember a picture she sent me of her and her dog. She also sent this small silver trinket in the shape of a little dog; it looked like a little Scottish dog I think.
Anyway, we had fun writing back and forth, until I got 'shipped' off too Europe to live with my father. I do remember writing from there, but after that I completely lost touch.
Wouldn't it be funny, if someone over there read this comment on U-Tube some 55 years later, and had some long-ago memory of 'two kids as pen-pals' from so very long ago.
Funny how I remember that. I was in 6th grade I think. It was fun writing to someone so far away,
over half a century ago.
Cute

bro that's a cool story lol it'd be great if you were to find them again

That’s such a cool story to remember! I’m Māori born in the 80’s & I had a pen-pal from America, San Fransisco! I was in primary & thought America & what she would tell me about her home & school was just amazing! I stopped writing when I started high school, I think that’s what started my fascination with America! & the world!
Always with New Zealand History, we start with the first contact between Maori and European. We never cover the long History of pre European Maori, their daily lives, their conflicts, the dominant and aggressive tribes. Their trials and tribulations, how the Pa system originated, how they used their weapons in warfare etc and who was top tribe then. It's always ignored as unimportant, or uninteresting, but I for one would like to know more about those days.
GUNS changed the dynamic of Maori warfare in NZ. Nga Puhi was the first to acquire the advantage of firearms.
Truth is moari wanted english rule to save them from themselves.
Scythian
@@ngatibroffessor1840 there are no treaty rights, moari signed over sovereignty for english rule to stop tribal warfare. Why else would all those chiefs sign?
Thats why when they rebelled and starting murdering settlers they had land confisgated as per english rules.
Life was tougher then than now. Thats the way the cookie crumbles ie reality.
@@jasonshaw7590 says here are no treaty rights, moari signed over sovereignty for english rule to stop tribal warfare. Why else would all those chiefs sign?

Maoris are Austronesian Polynesians, their language is part of the Austronesian family. I speak Indonesian, I can identify words between Maori and Indonesian which are still similar.
Examples:
What = Aha (Maori), Apa (Indonesian)
I, me = Ahau (Maori), Aku (Indonesian)
Fire = Ahi (Maori), Api (Indonesian)
Sky = Rangi (Maori), Langit (Indonesian)
Room / House = Ruma (Maori), Ruang / Rumah (Indonesian)
Wind = Hau (Maori), Hawa (Indonesian)
He / She = Ia (Maori, Indonesian)
Root = Aka (Maori), Akar (Indonesian)
Eye = Mata (Maori, Indonesian)
Nose = Ihu (Maori), Idung / Hidung (Indonesian)
Ear = Taringa (Maori), Telinga (Indonesian)
Sea = Moana (Maori), Muara (Indonesian, for Estuary)
Fur / Hair = Huru-Huru (Maori), Bulu-Bulu / Bulu (Indonesian)
Fish = Ika (Maori), Ikan (Indonesian)
Coconut tree = Niu (Maori), Nyiur (Indonesian)
Armpit = Keke (Maori), Ketek (Indonesian)
Continent / Land = Whenua (Maori), Benua (Indonesian)
Rain = Ua (Maori), Ujan / Hujan (Indonesian)
Dead = Mate (Maori), Mati (Indonesian)
Leaf, Trunk = Rau, Katua (Maori), Daun, Kayu (Indonesian)
Fruit = Hua (Maori), Buah (Indonesian)
Numbers:
Two, Five, Six, Seven, Eight = Rua, Rima, Ono, Whitu, Waru (Maori) ; Dua, Lima, Enam, Pitu (Javanese), Wolu (Javanese) - (Indonesian)
Interesting, do you know if they share mythologies? Eg earth mother/sky father? There is a big range of ethnic influences in Indonesia, which are the most similar to Polynesian people?
@@eeeaten Yes, Indonesia is populated by many Austronesian ethnic groups across the archipelago and the Melanesian peoples of the western-half of the Papua island, also other peoples such as Chinese, Arabs, Indians, etc. Most of the dominant ethnic groups have been influenced for many centuries by Hinduism, Buddhism, and later Islam and Christianity.
There are peoples, usually in isolated Islands such as the Mentawai people off the west coast of Sumatra, the Nias people in Nias island, and the Dayak people living in Borneo, especially the interior, still retain for the most part Austronesian original culture, evident in their traditional clothing, houses, traditional tattoos, and also their sea boats (Dayak's bangkong) which look very similar to the Maori boats (waka). The root word itself is of the same origin, bangkong, bangka, wangga, wagga; waka.
From what I've researched quickly, their beliefs about creation of their peoples vary, some involve stories of migrations to their islands due to conflicts from previous ones, some Dayak and Metawai people have creation tradition involving sky people giving birth to earthly humans, animals, and so forth. I'm not sure if it's in line with Maori traditional accounts.
Yep... Maori is close to Malay, as well- taringa, and the numbers too...
I think you will find that there were people in New Zealand long before the Maori arrived. Of course they don't want that talked about ... and so it's erased from the history books . But if your interested ? Dig a bit deeper ... you may be interested in what you find...
Yes you're correct they used to teach that in the 80's in museums in NZ when I was in school. Though it's not PC anymore.
Bit difficult to tell as Maori used traditional colonization techniques. Burning and culling of any relics of the moriori this is a story modern Maori want to forget. It sucks they preach that they're an victimized people but a lot suggests the opposite. NZ was probably the cleanest form of colonialism especially compared to Australia. Also read the treaty of Waitangi they claim to this day there is a disparity between the English and Maori translation. Ignorantly claiming the whites made words up to fit their agenda these words confused the Maori using words like "sovereignty" "governance" however both papers state clearly all land will be seized. This is a concept anyone could understand. But to see white people for the first time. With the technology the mythology and culture spreading thousands of years. The Maori mustve felt like aliens came ofc you'd want to be apart of that empire. We are a mixed island white people and Maori live together unfortunately modern Maori parties continue to reclaim land. Hold chairs in parliament asking for the stop of "ongoing colonization" even though this isn't 1870 anymore. They've become a gated racist community isolating themselves.
Another popular misconception is Europeans made most of the species extinct here when in reality it was a team effort moa were already extinct aswell as many species of bird as they were hunted for sport down south it was popular to cleanse by fire the port hills of Christchurch being one of the last moa locations with evidence they were burned out of their homes and eaten due to burn scars indicating they were burnt alive then bluntly butchered for eating. Often simplified like in Wellington museum and Auckland Nautical museum. Quite racist towards white people. Depicting them as invaders despite the fact there was no genocide. The musket war was the only case and that was tribal Maori v maori. And is the reason why Maori populations are so low. This is even stated in the Nelson Museum. Lots of lines a lot of holes in their stories. Whats made suspicious is they routinely hide the truth or skew the truth to paint Maori in a better light. In the Auckland Nautical museum they show the waka construction. Trying to prove that Polynesians came from Indonesia or other areas of south east asia. However they cut out scenes using drills and power tools to complete the boat. They also skipped the rope crafting as making rope takes time and plants. Which they didn't have.
I'm more of a believer they migrated from the east as moriori were here first and would make sense they started on Chatham Island. As that is one of our farthest reaching East islands. The ocean currents would allow for this as this was what slowed colonizers at this time. The winds and currents push towards Australia stopping oceanic sea travel. Anyway thanks for this ted talk. Overall it's just sad they never cared to preserve this island and it's true inhabitants birds and tuatara. Given another 200 years the Maori would've eaten and killed everything as this was the Polynesian way. Easter island being one such example. A good example of white people arriving and asking questions about their people. The only records of the Easter islanders otherwise would've been the damaged moai. We would have no record of them without colonization. I will admit if we were colonized by the French we also might not have worried about conservation. Thankfully the English care about those values at the end of the day and they love the land just as much as any person does. English and Maori might have the most in common out of any people's. But today they focus on the differences.
If you “dig a bit deeper” you end up finding a whole host of highly conflicting theories as to pre Māori populations in New Zealand. They all want to feel special with their theories yet won’t argue with each other. They’ll just fail against the “mainstream”.
Fact of the matter is there’s no evidence of anyone being here before the 1200s. Potentially even later than that. People are just grasping onto old theories from the 19th century that weren’t even taking seriously at the time or taking old Māori folklore at face value.
More and more people are believing these BS theories due to the division the pro Māori politicians want to sow. You idiots are literally falling into the very trap they set. They want you to discredit them like this so they can sit there and claim to be the victim.
There’s no archeological evidence, no biological evidence and no genetic evidence that supports any of these claims by any of these posters. Just theories made up by people with the same goals you have over 150 years ago. Just because they’ve been floating around for a while doesn’t make them true.
@@johnnyvegas459 the moriori are still here why you lying for 😂 if you don’t like it fk off back to ugay 🇬🇧 😂
Ha
it was a Micronesian grandmaster navigator who led Hókùle'a to Tahiti in 1976. He revived interest in preserving ancient navigation methods in Hawaii. Clearly the Micronesian use the same methods like stars, wind, waves, currents, clouds, seabirds, sun. They created their own chants to memorized all these.
Maori were not the first people in New Zeeland. Tall, blond Aryans were already living there. The ancient Aryans of New Zealand were there long before the Maori. They were almost all exterminated and erased, but some survived and are still there today. Watch the documentary Skeletons in the Cupboard. They were originally from Persia, but arrived in New Zealand from South America. In ancient times, there were advanced, sea-faring people who travelled the whole world. They built cities everywhere. They were Aryans. The lost tribes.

@@atulasitani7246 HAWAIKI! Dont argue with natives to New Zealand!!!
Some think that was Easter islands original name...I believe its what's others refer to as "Mu"
In legends it says 'the great land of Hawaiki', so all these small ass islands are not where we originate from because the great land sunk.
Nah its hayawaka he rekons 😂 whata dikhead
A correction note - "Kon-Tiki" expedition did NOT sail to Hawaii. They landed on the Raroia atoll in Tuamotus archipelago.
unluckily, as it is more or less evident in British (or US) based accounts, they frequently seem to think that they have a right to claim their expeditions as "the first ones", and their deeds as the ones "that opened new unknown lands" to the world... consistently also the stories about their colonial exploits almost always seem to be "the good stories", far from the practices of the "cruel and gold-thirsty" Spaniards, or the "indifferent, materialistic, business-minded" Portuguese and Dutch... (as if Australia would have been colonized under a fairy-tale scheme)!! There is absolutely no doubt about the greatness of captain Cook's voyages and discoveries, BUT although he put on the world's map more land (and water) than anybody else, he was not the only one, and above all not the first one. Considering the popularity of the "black legend" concerning Spanish colonization, there is no surprise that their transpacific expeditions are conveniently forgotten, and the same can be said about Portuguese and Dutch explorations coming from the Indian/Pacific oceans. Hernando de Magallanes, Andres de Urdaneta, Alvaro de Mendaña, Pedro Fernandez de Quiros, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, Jofre de Loaysa, Lopez de Villalobos, Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, Juan de Grijalva, Alvaro de Saavedra, Alonso de Salazar, Juan Ladrillero, Gonzalo de Vigo, Juan Meneses, etc, were some of the many Spanish explorers that crossed the Pacific from east to west and west to east, connecting Peru and Mexico with the Marquesas Islands, the Society Islands, Rapa Nui, Samoa, the Ellice islands, the Solomons, the Philippines, Macao. the Marianas, the Carolinas, New Guinea and northern Australia, at least 200 years before Cook. If we add the Portuguese and Dutch voyages it is no longer true that this ocean and these lands were "completely unknown to europeans until a few decades earlier" to Cook's voyages... For sure some, or many were truly unknown, but the Pacific Ocean was far from being a blank page, after the many expeditions done by the Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch during the 16th and 17th century, and the French during the 18th (and to this we should add the Spanish, British and Russian expeditions to the North Pacific at about the same time). Many viewers will perhaps know and agree that there are "other stories", but I comment here first of all for the ones that do not know...
Wrong...it was not *originally* called Aotearoa. The Maori, though they had a name for each of the islands, actually had no name for the entire"country" we now all know as New Zealand. The name Aotearoa was applied only to the North Island, and was not actually used as a name for the whole country until the post colonial era when it was the *English* Governor Grey who used the name for the entire country in a book he wrote in 1855 after doing research into local lore and legend.
Lol ok if you say so
im pretty sure he said that Aotearoa mostly reffered to the NI :/
They literally said that in the video.. "They used the name for the North island alone at first".
@@mangamaddness1 fact!!! Te Ika-a-Māui. North Island and Te Waipounamu is the South Island!
The word ‘maori’ (human, normal) was not used as a name for the indigenous population until the 1850s either.
As a British man my self I love the modern and historical Māori and their traditions and there is a popular British story as I am from Portsmouth which is the worlds most famous naval port of the Royal Navy and the story goes that in world war 2 the New Zealand and British troops was surrounded by the nazis in a battle and amo was running very low for both NZ and Brit soldiers and the NZ soldiers performed the haka in front of the Germans and the NZ troops built instant respect from the brits and vice versa as the brit soldiers joined them in the haka obviously not knowing what they was saying but just gave as much aggressive noice as possible and just charged in and apparently both brits and NZ forces pushed back the advancing nazi forces on that specific day .. knowing that story and seeing the haka in England v NZ in 2003 or 2004 made me gain a small obsession of the history of NZ
That was a place called 42nd street in the olive groves during the battle for Crete 1942

information rich and interesting documentary. thanks for the insight. fascinated by culture and am so sad that many cultures where long gone before my grandparents were even a thought. we need to preserve as much as the cultures that remain and not simply amalgamate them into the proverbial melting pot letting them disappear. diversity makes us stronger as a race, the human race that is and I do see us all as brothers and sisters on the same journey

60 years ago thanks to a headmaster way ahead of his time( frank bee of Lucknow school havelock north.for one hour once a week a local Maori elder came and taught us about maori culture. with no set syllabus. I learnt of a race before the maoriori who she spoke of with great reverence and awe. they were described as small, red haired and some having blue eyes. they were extremely stealthy and beyond the influence or understanding of her people, greatly revered and respected. having seen Maori hunters of just 60 years ago in the bush. lets say I felt about as stealthy as a drunk hippopotamus. sadly political correctness trumps science and history. this is not doing the maori any favours. in fact I see it as continued cultural abuse. as a descendant of 3 different warrior cultures i think we need to throw all of them away as promoting toxic masculinity this includes the glorification of the military. Both my parents were front line in the battle of Britain and both were permanently damaged by it, but they gave me a far better life than they ever knew, and that is the greatest thing anyone can do. let us all respect each other and live without violence. we should be ashamed of the level of sexual abuse alone. we must end wars before we are returned to the stone age
what you were taught about moriori is a myth, perpetuated by pakeha ethnographers who mangled oral histories together. that myth was debunked a hundred years ago but many still cling to it. for clarity i recommend reading moriori still setting the record straight. maori also have stories of magical fairy folk called patupaiarehe, and your teacher has blended fairy tales with myth to give you a fantasy story, not history.

Thanks pal !
Considering all the research that must have gone into the making of this, surely it wouldn't have taken too much more to learn correct pronunciation of the Māori words. Some of the mispronunciation is so bad as to be outright offensive.
What stands out to me is the pre-Euro-contact population estimate of only 100K, on two very large islands. In comparison Hawaii's pre-contact population is estimated to have been 500K-700K at points, on much less land and NZ's fisheries are richer. It must have been a beautiful land with little meat to eat after the moa were gone. The secret of the higher Hawaiian population numbers is known, it was fish ponds which allowed the regular harvest of plentiful protein. It's odd that the Maori didn't have the chicken or pig since they make good canoe animals that adapt easily and I wonder if they did make it but all got eaten in a time of great hunger. Maori cannibalism seems much broader than Hawaiians, where it was ceremonial (after a battle the flesh/mana of a high king or notable warrior might be consumed via priest-driven ritual but the Hawaiians wouldn't sit down and cook/eat all the dead warriors). I suspect the hunger drove raiding and warfare, noting breakdown of the Maori stone trading network, suspect it got too dangerous to travel...
speculation and opinion regarding hunger filled cannibal feasting. MAori werent starving. Food was abundant compared to your standard pacific island.
If there were chickens and pigs in Aotearoa in the early days there would at least be archaeological evidence in middens. There are plenty of bird bones, they're just native birds, not chickens.
plenty of crop agriculture too - meat wasn't the only source of sustenance for many māori, we have a God Haumia Tiketike dedicated to this as well
Maori cannibalism was widespread throughout New Zealand until the mid 1800s but has largely been ignored in history books, says the author of a new book released this week. ... He said the widespread practice of cannibalism was not a food issue but people were eaten often as part of a post-battle rage.
It is not uncommon for the underdogs in any situation to have become food in the more recent settlement era, that snice moas & seals etc became scarce and Christianity/European civilisation values were introduced.
It's simply part of history, Europeans cooked witches (without eating them) and gutted & dismembered hung scoundrels for crowd entertainment. Something that could perhaps be usefully introduced to NZ for it's meth and violence problems that some blame on the evils of colonisation (since unable to legally eat pacifists now)
open- ''What is the name off this new book- ?????. Met a gent whose name was Jones and he had his index finger eaten off by a Negro male in U.S.A.
Maori cannibalism IS generally acknowledged in history books where it’s relevant.
How is it not a food issue given the distinct lack of large land mammals?
As for supposed “post battle rage” it’s far more likely to be “post battle practicality” , that’s a lot of food sitting around going to waste otherwise after all.
It depends on the tribe
Cannibalism is never mentioned by radicals in 2024 nor is the genocide of the Mori Ori people
Altearoa is pretty much alive, because it is the heart of the Pacific Islands & no matter what, times begins in the Pacific Islands. Nothing can change that on the face of the Earth

It's a shame saying that James Cook was the 1st european to discover or at least the 1st determand to set foot upon New Zealand. The country is named after a province of the Netherlands, Zeeland. The 1st european there was Abel Tasman some 120 years before, yes certainly 120 years before Cookie

Like seriously 95% of all Maori words spoken in this video are miss pronounced. And Maori weren’t the 1st people to New Zealand
@John Rambo He's probably referring to the Moriori people whom had settled the Chattam Islands which are islands east of the main two big islands (Class as modern-day New Zealand). There is no evidence (up to be proven otherwise) that proves anyone was on the two main islands before Maori.
@John Rambo Maori oral histories and modern archaeology both support a settlement date of around 1200AD.
It was taught in schools for some time that Moriori were the first New Zealanders largely because it justified the European oppression of Maori and land theft. Their own oral history (Moriori) say they are an offshoot of Maori which left NZ to settle the Chatham's around the year 1500AD.
Maori were the first people in New Zealand you muppet although they didn't call themselves that until europeans arrived
Search 'Skeletons in the cupboard' for compelling information... there may have even been small indigenous forest beings here as well before all visitors... definitely brings more questions than answers... especially when evidence get destroyed / disappeared, but was well documented.... just saying...
@John Rambo In the research papers held by Victoria University, it describes the oral account of Kupe making his recon down the west coast of the North Island. He gives account of seeing many canoes pulled up on the beaches at Himatangi Beach and did not approach that time as he was unsure if they were friendly. They stayed offshore and watched the figures move around the campfires. Later he did meet them and the name he gave them was Wei Wei. His descriptions of them were tall and athletic, more wiry then the Polynesian, with some having red or gold hair. This would point to Melanesian origins and the research takes into account winds and currents and points to the Vanuatu region and hypothesizes a group either exploring out or blown off course from that region and for unknown reasons, settled here. You can google the accounts online though there's a lot to read.
Garbage from start to finish, who the hell put this false information on line .. disgraceful, this is not New Zealand's real past at all.. a very poor interpretation of Maori role in their early landing in New Zealand from Asia. The Moriori race were here before the Maori arrived & that is documented fact..
No it isn’t.
the myth of the moriori as new zealand's first people was debunked a hundred years ago. look it up. also maori came from eastern polynesia, not asia. their ancestors were polynesian, from samoa/tonga, and from the western pacific - asia/papua - thousands of years before that.
there is no proof that no one reached there before the polynesians.
just no proof that they left a tace of.

I had to correct my earlier comment, there was a Samoan chap who commented that we have got the meaning Aotearoa wrong. In English we say "Land of the Long White Cloud". The confusion is with the word "LONG". We mistook "LONG" as being a measurement of distance but in fact it is a measurement of time. So to correctly interpret Aotearoa its "Land of the Long Lasting White Cloud".It was a warning to the incoming Polynesians that this is a Land , unlike the Islands, of a Big ass winter so be prepared.This seems to make sense to me.
samoa was all shit bro if the white man didnt come we would have prepped our men and advanced weapons and went to samoa and crushed them we had over 100.thousand more men then there 1000 peoples plus we were bigger than them because we had the most food we also had armor and projectile weapons
Taihoa there a moment @X-faction 13, before our tipuna fully settled in Aotearoa, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji were the most powerful kingdoms of the West Pacific. And theyʻre pretty much our relations, whether you like it or not. Māui is just as much theirs as he is ours. #kotahiaroha
And @Peter Watson - Iʻve read some of Tevita O. Kaʻiliʻs books, essays and theses. He mentions ‘Te Vā’ as a Tongan concept of space-time, so what youʻve heard from that Samoan chap probably has some relation to what Kaʻili wrote about.
HOWEVER! Māori and Samoan language may share some ancestral connection, they are linguistically different, like English to German.
Although, to a degree, aye - ‘roa’ can be used as a measurement of time, it isnʻt strictly used that way. Roa, most commonly, is an adjective (to be long).
Aotearoa = aotea+roa; aotea (lit. white cloud), roa; long = long white cloud. ‘Aotearoa’ comes from the exclamation said by Kupeʻs wife upon seeing the tell tale signs of land (large white clouds), ‘He ao! He ao! He aotea roa!’ (A cloud! A cloud! A long white cloud!)
Another ancient name used to refer to these islands was Nukuroa (Long-land).

As much as it is nicely put together and presented, it took me only four minutes to stop watching because you drifted straight into fairytales and fantasy around historical facts. Anyone who shills the "Maori were the first ones there" narrative should feel ashamed.

Legendary homeland of the Maori was HAWAIKI. Made up of Hawaikinui, Hawaikiroa, Hawaikipamamao.
main killer diseases for aboriginal populations were smallpox, syphillis, measles, influenza and TB; westerners also died from these, but over long time period had developed some resistance so outbreaks were less devastating; we will see the same effect with the covid coronavirus
I find Maori stone age culture very interesting.
Aotearoa was not the original name. It was coined much later Decades after the Treaty of Waitangi even
Wasn't there also a Melanesian element among the Maori?
Moriori
Yes according to Bryan Sykes book (The Seven Daughters of Eve) and his studies of Cook Island DNA he concluded polynesians have roughly 4% melanesian DNA. I don't know if that has been debunked or not since as the book is nearly 20 years old. He also stated that the largest gene pool of Maori DNA was in Taiwan. I also saw uncovered old footage in the early 2000's of indigenous Taiwanese doing a haka, but I can't find this anywhere now
The first people came to New Zealand from Southeast Asia? Come on give us some credit: they mainly came from what is now Indonesia.
You say they called their ancestral homeland Hawaiki. Try pronouncing that the way you pronounce Hawaii instead of the way you do in this film. You will then see that it is very similar to Jawai which is how the Javanese refer to Java. In languages the letter J often becomes H.

Polynesians were like the Vikings of the southern hemisphere, warrior-navigators who explored and settled the most remote parts of the planet.
Assuming the Vikings lost the knowledge of metallurgy, use of the bow and arrow, writing and became cannibalistic then I suppose your right.
@Jeri Brown Oh yes they did - very, very much so. They did so back in their origins e.g. Hawaiki. That's why many of them had to leave their origins. Further the evidence is all over the North and South Islands of New Zealand where raiding and warfare was regular. For the worst example look at the history of the Chatham Islands where in one genocide occurred and by the late 1890s out of all the original population of 2-3000 only 35 survived.

There were, and still are 100's of tribes, barely any of them were allies. So how can the entire Māori population be blamed for the cruelty of TWO tribes? That's like saying all Europeans are racist, jew-hating assholes like the Nazi's. Do your research friend, Moriori were never on the North and South island. They were only on the Chathams.
Nope,cook discovered nothing,everything was already chartered and well documented.also we are waiting for the english speakers worldwide to embrace local cultures when migrating,or pay a linguistic tax
The Polynesians most definitely reached the Americas. The artwork and practices of the Incas, Mayans and Aztecs bears no similarity to that of any of the so-called, 'First Nations' peoples; who were the descendants of Central Asian hunter/gatherers, unaccustomed to tropical climes, or agricultural or city life. I also think that Polynesians were the fierce cannibals, called the Caribs, who terrorized other inhabitants of the Greater and Lesser Antilles.
While you are correct that Polynesians had contact and reached parts of the Americas, your justification for why is quite racist. Indigenous Americans have had around a hundred thousand years to develop and diversify in the Americas.
Polynesians are not Caribs.
@@maapauu4282 , Racist, HOW? People use that term as a crutch. And what justification did I give? I don't recall giving one; racist or otherwise. For the record, The names, Carib, Arawak and Taino, were assigned by the European conquerors. They were not what the native peoples called themselves. The claim that so-called Caribs, Amerindians, allegedly originating from the Orinoco River area of South America, were cannibals, is unsubstantiated and most likely untrue. It was a continuation of the European's successful divide and conquer strategy. The peaceful, pastoral Arawaks were the good guys. The Carib warriors were the bad guys. Labeling them as cannibals gave the Europeans justification for annihilating the warriors. But, IF the natives of the so-called Caribbean islands were terrorized by a fierce, sea-faring enemy, with a documented history of ritualistic cannibalism (human flesh was referred to as 'long pig', by the Polynesians) to intimidate their enemies, my educated guess would be that the Polynesians were the source of the Carib stories. Thinking that powerful, Polynesian warriors, were above doing to the Amerindian peoples, what they had to done to their fellow Polynesians, in violent, tribal warfare, throughout the Pacific, is to accept the conqueror's narrative. The peoples that crossed Central Asia and entered North America from Beringia, to become the First Peoples and First Nations, had no history of making dugout canoes, living in thatched huts or crossing the sea. The so-called Caribs and Arawak, of South America, in my opinion, have no connection to those peoples; unless it's through intermixing. Their origins are elsewhere; and one only needs to apply critical thinking and look at which other cultures shared similar physical characteristics, lifestyles and traditions. You don't go from being a nomadic hunter/gatherer from the Steppes of Central Asia, to being a pastoral rainforest dweller. If the so-called Arawak and Caribs originated in Venezuela, why in the world would they risk venturing across the sea to look for new land? Do you know how vast and biologically diverse South America is? That narrative makes no sense! It is my belief that South America was FIRST inhabited by peoples from Australia, New Guinea, Micronesia, Melanesia, China and Polynesia. I think those peoples were eventually supplanted by Amerindian hunter/gatherers, that migrated from the American Southwest, down through Mexico and the Yucatan. No racism here, buddy.
@@traeucity6087 There is racism. You're saying that Indigenous Americans adapting to a new environment over thousands of years is impossible.
To assume that we Polynesians have adapted to Polynesia over a period of 5000 years when you also assume that Indigenous Americans couldn't have adapted to the Americas over 100000 years is quite racist. The fact that you assume that South American cultures couldn't have been the invention of Indigenous Americans because they wouldn't be able to adapt is also racist.
The fact that you think that even after 100000 years of separation, Northern Native Americans would be the same as the Native Americans of South America is also quite racist.
Firstly, science and genetics suggest that South Americans and North Americans both originate from a single group of people who crossed the Berring strait.
After 100000 years, people innovate. Of course they would be different, they would have had the same ammount of time to adapt as their ancestors had to adapt after becoming a distinct species.
As for why they moved, humans like to migrate. I don't know why, but humans have a tendency to migrate. Maybe there was a land bridge. Maybe after living near a coast, people created boats that could travel further and further.
The story does make sense. You just aren't researching enough.
Science doesn't care what your opinion is. Science has already proved without a shadow of a doubt that these people are descended from the same ancestors of Native North Americans.
If these Polynesians were supplanted, why is there little genetic trace of Polynesians? Why are there no Austronesian words? To use your own point, why would people migrate to meet the Polynesians in the Islands if they're apparently so against migrating across waters?
@@maapauu4282 , You obviously don't know what racism is. Like most people that abuse and misuse the term, you are emotional, not rational. You also don't know what science is. Science is not fact; it is an agreed upon, majority opinion. It is subject to change. If it isn't, it is not science. If you were knowledgeable about the latest scientific theories and the latest discoveries on human migration to the Americas, you would know that for decades, now, the old, Bering Strait theory, as the sole migration point to the Americas, has been totally disregarded. It is now widely accepted that the Americas were populated by waves of people, at different times, from different places and at different locations. If you weren't so busy throwing a hissy fit and crying about imagined racism, you could easily find such information. Here is just one example, from 2022. "Many theories exist about how people first got to the Americas, but there are three really predominant theories: the oldest being the theory of the Bering Land Bridge and then, more recent in the last couple decades, are the Atlantic Theory and the Oceania Theory." Now, stop whining about racism and do your homework! "The archaeological discovery of repeated instances of human occupation south of the North American continental ice sheets predating the appearance of fluted projectile points and before any possible opening of an ice-free corridor (IFC) between the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets has essentially falsified the long held Clovis-first hypothesis (CFH). This array of data is now sufficiently large that it requires an organizational framework within which to consider the processes and chronology underlying the only reasonable alternative for the initial Pleistocene peopling of the Americas: A Pacific coastal entry way into the New World." Here's another... "In 2015, scientists discovered something surprising: that some Indigenous peoples in the Brazilian Amazon were distantly-but distinctly-related to native Australians and Melanesians. The genetic signal of Australasian ancestry in so far-flung a population sent researchers scrambling for answers. The 2015 DNA studies revealed Australasian ancestry in two Indigenous Amazonian groups, the Karitiana and Suruí, based on the DNA of more than 200 living and ancient people. Many bore a signature set of genetic mutations, named the "Y signal" after the Brazilian Tupi word for "ancestor," ypikuéra. Some scientists speculated the Y signal was already present in some of the earliest South American migrants. Others suggested a later migration of people related to present-day Australasians could have introduced the Y signal into people already living in the Amazon. One unanswered question is why the Y signal hasn't turned up in any North or Central American Indigenous groups. One possibility, Hünemeier suggests, is that the Y signal-bearing migrants simply stuck to the coast and made it to South America without leaving any genetic legacy up north. It's also possible that groups with Y ancestry did live in North and Central America, but died out in the deadly aftermath of European colonization. "The population Y signal is a puzzle," Meltzer says, "but this is an interesting piece to add to it." SCIENCE, NOT RACISM! GIT SOME!!!
This is rubbish. Cook was a second left tenant. My name isn't Jackson estacado, its a comic book character the darkness. It Whakari tumainu. I'm tainui. What happened to the tribe that Kupe founded Nga Mahanga O Toi, the multitudes of Toi. Toi was Kupes father.
What happened to these people's, Nga Mahanga O Toi, Ngati kuhupungapunga, Patupaiarehe, Moriori they were there first. Just beaten at Warfare.
Maori (ordinary person) is just a word that was used because it was aborigines before that. This is full of it.
Tainui comes from Rapanui, Easter island. And before that Tahiti. This is old racism, of anything without white skin unable to do anything without books. And the 1 fleet thing rubbish. 7 fleets for the Seven nations of the maori. Take Abel Tasman account rather then best cartographer Cook.
Oh I like it now, Kaahu, hast eagle.
What's this picture of a Maori with a bow and arrow. Not too many ballistic weapons in maori culture, combat was face to face.
Moa wasn't the only big bird. There were large kiwi too.
Ka kino tenei. Porangi Tenei tangata
Jackson Estacado and New Zealand has one of the largest eagles in the world.
Jackson Estacado sorry, ‘had’
@@captaincracker8980 its all good. My people called it Kaahu. We also made kites of them.
It was the predator of the large land birds of the country.
Ngat kahupungapunga (children of the Eagles of the fern fronds). They were 1 one the native people's before maori.
They worshipped them.
Jackson Estacado oh that’s right, I’d forgotten about the kites, is that tradition still going?
@@captaincracker8980 no. Forgotten art, with the maori. Warfare started and a few of the peaceful past times were left behind for warrior training.
But I think Ngati Hotu still knows how to make them. They pre date maori by 800 years, our aural stories tell of the people before our ancestors invaded. Peaceful people. They aren't polynesians. Blonde, red or brown hair, blue or green eyes.
They were the kite builder and the kites were huge.
There was another source of high quality protein, and like Moa it walked on two legs... Cannibalism was common and not just to gain 'mana' but also as an insult and sometimes just because it was tasty. For more information read "Journal of the Polynesian Society" - these are a good source of information (freely available on-line) as they were written in 1892+ i.e. closer to the source, and often by eye-witnesses of those involved. Incidentally, the Chatham Island Moriori regulated their population by infanticide. All in all NZ was a 'rugged' place and we should not assume that they were "noble savages".
Just as well white people came along and saved everyone right? Its not like Europeans didn't kill anyone, right? Forget the European genocide on Jews and others they deemed undesirable. Forget the acts of cannibalism carried out during that period in Russia. It's pretty easy to see through your racist agenda. You're immune to the smell of your own stench.....
@@ngatibroffessor1840 Forget nothing of all this - all were equally wrong. Have a balanced view of history. When all are victims then none has a special claim on suffering. All suffered... and that is the issue. Distorted and untrue representation of history pollute the truth. Incidentally, it was the white man that introduced demographic literacy, abolished slavery and has contributed to an average increase in life-span of all non-white people of over 30 years per person, since 1850 to 2015.

REPLY: The British Empire banned the slave trade in 1830 However it profited and benefited from the slave trade. The act of abolishing it doesn't relive them of the sin...
@@ngatibroffessor1840 I'm sorry that you don't like facts... it may be that you try and win arguments by insulting people. Good luck to you, your partner, your friends or possibly even your children (generational abuse is a thing), indeed any who may be at the receiving end of your vituperates.
Moriori were there before them. They get wiped out by the Maoris
Yes , I’m a 51 yr old kiwi and I remember learning all about when the the Maori came , and yes they wiped most of the Moriori out , not nicely either
@@meaowsandwhistles you got told a story that is not true. thespinoff.co.nz/atea/03-08-2018/the-moriori-myth-and-why-its-still-with-us/
the moriori lived in the chathams. they got decimated by maori (who travelled there on a british ship) in the chathams in 1835. update your mythical beliefs.
Wouldn’t surprise me , after all , we were also led to believe Mandela died when I was in high school in the 80s lol
