Moriori Genocide

Moriori Genocide

The Taranaki Tribe of the South Island of New Zealand slaughtered almost all of the peaceful and non-violent Moriori of the Chatham Archipelago from 1835 to the early 1860s. Moriori were Pacifists, who when being wiped out by their neighboring Polynesian tribe, decided that their non-violent beliefs were more important than their own survival.
