Why Māori Arrival Rewrites History: A DNA & Navigation Documentary
This is a story of human migration and cultural survival, tracing the epic Austronesian expansion from an ancestral homeland in Hawaiki. We explore the world of the Lapita culture and the Polynesian voyagers, who became master navigators of the Pacific. Using advanced DNA analysis and knowledge of ancient navigation, we reveal how they used the waka hourua to settle Aotearoa, New Zealand. Their oral history tells of adapting to a new world as moa hunters, governed by mana and tapu. This narrative covers the formidable pā fortification, the devastating Musket Wars led by figures like Hongi Hika, the arrival of James Cook, and the controversial Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti). We delve into the dark era of colonization, the New Zealand Wars, land confiscation, and resistance from leaders like Te Kooti and Te Whiti at Parihaka, culminating in the powerful Māori Renaissance.
