New Q....

Q13. In November and December of 1835, the Moriori people, peaceful hunter-gatherers who had lived for thousands of yaers on the Chatnam Islands, 500 Km east of New Zealand were wiped out of exsistence. Two boat loads of Maoris from the mainland slaughtered the island's population with little effort as the Moriori had never been faced with hostility of any sort, let alone sharp weapons. The Maoris that were responsible for the massacre had never known of the existence of the Chatnam Islands or the people that dwelled there until shortly before they set sail. How did the Maoris learn of the existence of this island and it's friendly people?.

Ans- During the Maori war of 1835 two tribes, the Ngati Tama and Ngati Mutunga of the Waiarapa, were being harried.
They had to find refuge, and some Maori who had crewed aboard European ships brought stories of an island that was abundant in food - called Wharekauri in Maori, the Chathams in English - the home of the Moriori.
