This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Weren't the Maori also just invaders who killed the natives and brought invasive species with them? I feel kind.of ambiguous about this whole Maori fascination.

Nope. Not even close. That's a myth used to invalidate actual Māori history.

The "moriori" were a Māori tribe on the Chatham islands who were conquered by mainland Māori.

Fun fact: NZ is the last place on earth to be permanently settled by humans.

TL;DR: Polynesians settled New Zealand over the 13th century, slowly lost contact with polynesia and the cultures diverged.

Are we just discounting that Antarctica still has no permanent residents?

Antarctica can't be the last place with a permanent settlement if it has no permanent settlement.
