One the 'regular Maori' and the other an inferior dark-skinned [Moriori] people supposed to be aborigines of the islands. [Chatham] This essentially racist myth was strengthened by Percy Smith when he wrote that the Maori aristocracy preferred to trace their descent from the canoes that formed the fleet in 1350 that migrated to New Zealand.)
