A short history of the islands.....
-
The
Moriori people were the first inhabitants of the Chatham
Islands. They called it Rekohu, ‘Misty Skies’ because of
the mists that
sometimes cover the islands for days at a time.
When
the Maori people arrived, in the 1840's they called the
islands ‘Wharekauri’.
- In 29th November
1791 Europeans arrived and gave the islands their English name --------- the
Chatham Islands
The name "Chatham Islands" comes from the ship HMS
Chatham, whose captain William R. Broughton landed on November 29, 1791, and
claimed possession for Great Britain. Sealers and whalers soon made the islands
a centre of their activities. Fishing activities continue to contribute
significantly to the economy, although the sealing and whaling industries ceased
activities about 1861. The invading Mâori from New Zealand ?as well as European
whalers ?inter-married with the local indigenous population. Today, some
island families still continue a Moriori lineage, and the
Moriori culture continues to recover. Moriori have recently established a
national marae
and united under the Hokotehi Trust. A party of German Lutheran missionaries
arrived in 1843; they were all men,
but women followed three years later. Many of the present population can trace
their ancestry to German roots via the missioner families.
