Well I don't 'know' anything I just have a series of things I've heard. Distant genetic origins possibly Korea, mixed with Islanders along route. Live in the land of the long white cloud. The Hei Tiki done in green stone represents the first man. Made a treaty with the 'white man.' Made ceremonial poles and meeting halls. Culture was reasonably warlike and they practiced cannibalism. Pretty limited really.

@SW-User possibly japanese lol there are similarities in the languages.. but yes predominantly polynesian roots linked mainly to rarotonga. The treaty wasnt exactly translated accurately so there are still disputes to this day 😂 and yes maori ate the hearts of their enemies because they believed it gave them courage, and the brains for their knowledge.. and their ummm... penises... for their ummm... yeah...
