The Great Fleet theory re
The Great Fleet theory regarding this people's origins is largely discredited, and they are probably responsible for the extinction of Haast's Eagle. Skilled at building pa forts, they defeated the Europeans in several battles of the Flagstaff War. Notable aspects of their culture include the traditional dance known as haka, which is often performed before a battle, as well as receiving t? moko, a form of tattoo, which is part of this people's rite of passage. Leaders like Hone Heke eventually had their lands confiscated, after both sides broke the Treaty of Waitangi. For 10 points, name these people responsible for hunting the moa to extinction, the pre-British residents of New Zealand.
