 Ritual Weapons -- The Maori 17c.-1866   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
At that time the Maori's sophisticated art of war was built around a core of standard weapons: In addition to spears, a unique set of hand clubs and a large fighting staff were used for hand-to-hand combat.
In 1835 members of the remaining tribes invaded the Chatham Islands and conquered the Moriori, a small, isolated hunter-gatherer population descended from the same ancestral Polynesian migration that produced the Maori.
The first or Flagstaff War (1845-1847) was a more conventional conflict with British armies engaging Maori in the field or besieging pa. Later wars saw the Maori adopt guerilla tactics, but by 1866 major organized resistance had ended and all Maori land and administration was incorporated into the British colonial system.
