The last known native speaker of Moriori
00:07
most likely died in the late 1800s, perhaps since the early 1900s.
00:12
For a long time, Moriori were considered extinct.
00:19

00:27
Our story is one that's actually reflected in the stories of many indigenous peoples.
00:36
Yet our experiences and our recollections are unique in their own way.
00:43
So once again, we acknowledge the traditional owners
00:47
and we acknowledge the generosity of spirit and hospitality that's been shown to us
00:51
as we've embarked on our mission to take these karapuna back home.
