Tell me about the non/pre Maori inhabitants of New Zealand.
I think I heard that they were still there when Europeans first arrived but the Maoris later wiped them out.
Somebody in another thread said some were still knocking about.
I want to know more.
What are the actual facts?
A quick look around websites suggests that they were also Polynesians.

P.S. I'm not talking about those Celt/Phoenician theories here.
