Moriori genocide
Atrocity in 1835; part of the Musket Wars
The Moriori genocide was the mass murder, enslavement, and cannibalisation of the Moriori people, the indigenous ethnic group of the Chatham Islands, by members of Ngāti Mutunga and Ngāti Tama, two Māori iwi from mainland New Zealand, from 1835 to 1863. The invaders murdered around 300 Moriori and enslaved the remaining population.
