	Moriori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moriori are the indigenous people of the Chatham Islands (Rekohu in the Moriori language), east of the New Zealand archipelago.
		The Moriori form an outlier, ethnically and culturally, to the Polynesians of the Pacific Ocean.
		Evidence supporting this theory comes from the similarity of the Moriori language to the Māori dialect spoken by the Ngai Tahu tribe of the South Island, comparisons of the genealogies of Moriori ("hokopapa") and Māori ("whakapapa"), and prevailing wind patterns in the southern Pacific.

		The view put most strongly to ERO was that Moriori should be developed in a way that is inclusive of the wider Chatham Islands’ population, with Moriori language and culture encompassed within a school that also teaches tikanga and te reo Mäori.
		In common with representatives of the Mäori community, the Moriori who met with ERO expressed a desire for an education system in which adults of the community, as well as children, have the opportunity to learn their language and culture.
		If a separate Moriori early childhood centre were to be established the competition between the two organisations could result in low numbers of children in both and pose a risk to their viability.

		During their long period of isolation on Rekohu, which was ended by the appearance of European 'explorers' in 1791, the Moriori developed a distinctive culture and lifestyle.
		The Maori origin of the Moriori is demonstrated most conclusively by linguistic evidence: the Moriori language is intimately related to the Maori language, a language which only developed after the settlement of the islands of New Zealand.
		The 'Moriori renaissance' has upset many Maori on Rekohu and elsewhere, perhaps because it confronts them with the fact that the Maori were not the Tangata Whenua of these remote islands.

	Annotated Bibliography on Maori Language Revitalization
		It is worthwhile to familiarize oneself with the general literature on endangered languages and bilingual/immersion education (this is often an integral part of language revitalization efforts).
		These languages may fit Fishman's framework better than the others and their chances of survival are much greater.
		The paper argues that Maori language revitalization should not be understood as language loss followed by revitalization activities, rather it is the result of a long process of negotiation between the indigenous Maori and European Settlers.

		When the Moriori held their second great council at Te Awapatiki in 1862, to record their traditions and genealogies, and their objections to the Maori conquest of the Chatham Islands, Tapu was chosen as scribe for that meeting and the series that followed.
		The consequence was that, although Maori and Moriori numbers on the Chathams were roughly equal in 1870 (about 100 of each), the Maori were awarded ownership of 146,289 acres of Chatham Island, or 97.3 per cent; the Moriori 4,100 acres or 2.7 per cent.

		Written records from the late 18th and early 19th centuries are examined by Ross Clark in 'Moriori and the Maori: the linguistic evidence' (1994).

		Māori had declined as a first language as a result of colonisation's impact—government policy from 1867 that teaching be in English; the move since the 1950s by Māori away from their tribal communities where the language and oral traditions were habitual, to towns where English and literacy predominated.

		Despite the egalitarian language, in practice the principles of the Treaty were often ignored.
		Davidson has this to say about the Moriori: "Despite widespread popular belief that the Moriori were a vanquished group who fled to the Chathams from New Zealand, Moriori and Maori were unaware of each others' existence before the rediscovery of the Chathams by Europeans in the late 18th century.
		Therefore Pakeha [Maori term for European settlers and their descendants] expropriation of the same land on the basis of their superior civilisation was in accordance with the principle of the survival of the fittest.
