One can only imagine what it would've been like way back then to be invaded, to have everything you hold dear taken from you, to then be enslaved for those who survived, and to have that persevere for such an extended period of time. It must have been harrowing, and I really commend the Moriori for being able to stand by their beliefs, to persevere through those difficult times, and to, indeed, petition the Government as it was only newly formed and to eventually—eventually—get support.
