The main idea of this book is to tell the history of Moriori people , how they worked hard , what happened when the British people took over , and other key information that explains Moriori are not a fiction.
Secondly, I really enjoyed reading this book as I got to learn the culture and history of Moriori. I got to learn a new culture who I didn’t even know existed! One thing I learnt in my new book is the culture of Moriori. I have not heard of this culture before and it is a very strong culture. I also learnt from their culture of traditional wear that people used to wear.
Even though I don’t know any Moriori people I would like to recommend this text to adults who learnt that Moriori was a fiction , as they can learn that Moriori is not a fiction and is a real true culture who worked hard for others. I would also recommend this book to younger kids so they understand that Moriori is real and they can teach their future kids , grandchildren. Facts about the true culture of full blooded Moriori.
