The Māori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa or what is today New Zealand. Famous for their haka, poi, and face tattoos. They're descended from Polynesians, the greatest voyagers the world has ever known. They hunted gigantic like mega-birds, terrified European colonists, and built a rich culture while isolated from the rest of the world.
But who are the Māori, what is their history, and what exactly is a Trojan Whale? Well, Let's Find Out!
I'd like to thank the Associated Press for providing me with footage for this video www.aparchive.com/

When’s the next stream coming?
I loved the previous one
Winter in New Zealand actually begins in july
So will you cover Moriori next ?
Im looking for that byzantine empire one on nebula and its not there?
your copyright infringement song earned my like
As a Māori you've told the story better than New Zealands education system
As a Māori I agree with my Māori
As a maori I also agree with my maori's
Chur my maori
Ahh kei te peha koutou ma maoris?
As a pākehā raised here, I also agree! I wish I'd learned this in school and didn't have to google the NZ wars when I was an adult to learn about it ay..
Wow, as a Maori, I was ready to cringe but this was really beautifully and respectfully made. This has more nuance than some history books written in aotearoa! I truly appreciate the effort and love put into this video, Thank you so much for this amazing international resource, Arohanui
Wow, thank you!

Are you doing the Aztec religion next? Since you did the Maori pacific island culture, why not do mesoamerican aztec religion
Cogito
And you could make it your next video in honor of dia de los muertos and hispanic heritage month that had passed
Cogito
Not to mention how it will tie in with Daoism and Teotl
Cogito
Can you do the Aztec religion next please before doing any other religion. That’s been an anticipated video. And your videos are fun and educational
As a Māori myself, having not really grown up with the culture, this video made me emotional. I was never taught this in schools, and my Mum keeps telling me that I need to start embracing my culture more. I will start today. Thank you for this informative video!
Learn a few Haka dances!
I hope you do! Your culture looks and sounds beautiful
We should all have knowledge and be proud of our heritage! We need to know where we came from. To feel grounded in your ancestry is essential! I'm from UK and am interested and proud of some of our achievements BUT not ALL of it! We have left some very bad things in our wake. I do have to give credit where it's due. I'm sorry though, the parts of our PAST empire behaved as though we were entitled, which was unbelievable! Thank goodness this had passed realising it was so wrong! Unbelievable! I will add I had very close family friends that emigrated to New Zealand years ago and the son (my age) married a Maori young lady.and had two children. I'm happy your language is not lost and is resurrected. Have happy days and good health 👌❤️🤗🌈
@Cian I am grateful to have this m sage from you. I realise regarding achievement, all nations “achieve” either simultaneously, earlier or later! I hope on the journey we can help and learn from one another. One of the things I don’t like about Empire building (of course many others other than UK did this) is the feeling of entitlement and superiority SOME people had. I hope most in my heart they were voyages of discovery, which I think is a natural desire for some and that is wonderful! Perhaps many have been responsible for repression of their own TO their own AND others through the centuries! However, there is good amongst it. Many of our sea-farers were press-ganged into the mariners life and record shows they as well as others, were treated with disdain and whipped for the slightest demeanour. Plus in our country the “workers” were 99% treated worse than a beast of burden, including children: building the wealth for the factory owner. We had FEW factory owners who treated worker with respect and housed them even. That was the philanthropic company of Joseph Cadbury of the Quakers. I could go on. Thank you! 🙏👌🤗
@@CrimsonA1 Haka is not a dance! It's a challenge.
Both my grandfathers were fluent in the language but chose not to pass on the language to either of my parents. Now they're both dead, but I'm not giving up on relearning the language in my own time :) This was a cool informative video and I really appreciate it!
Great idea BUT remember its a tribal language with a very small word base....so much meaning has to be METAPHOR,, great for song & poetry but aweful to fix microwaves . ...I had an HUG from Pixie Williams... now find out who she was
Ah yes, the ole "accidentally mistranslated" treaty trick. Gets ya every time
Whoops looks like we accidently just gave ourselves all your land. How unfortunate.
quite literally what happened - it’s no debate with most new zealand historians that the treaty was deliberately mistranslated in order to win māori over, the debate lies in WHY it was mistranslated, some say that james busby (the crown representative in new zealand before the treaty) was looking to get an official place in the country so he wouldn’t have to be moved to an office in india
@@El-Pollo-Loco who was the first then pyssy
Current day Maori are the direct descendants of their polynesian tupuna.... who were the first people to set foot in and settle Aotearoa.
They didn't brutally colonize any pre-existing peoples to take their land off them, as Pakeha did in earning the title of colonizers.
You might want to argue what to call those first folk who set foot in Aotearoa, but pretending their descendents aren't the original native people of Aotearoa is pretty stupid (to say the least).
@@El-Pollo-Loco and i dont take these platforms for granted, i see these platforms as ways to help me survive in a system that was built to destroy my culture quietly and use them to help me gain knowledge of the history of my people who like many indegenous people were forced off their land and had to fit in with a “western society”
defeated giant mega birds? Well thats one way Kiwis can flex on Aussies and Emus
The Aussies were actually defeated by their emus! (ua-cam.com/video/BXpu6tbFCsI/v-deo.html)
@- king- exactly hes taking credit from the people who's land they took
...today the closest thing to Veloceraptors and T-Rex...! ;-)
@@jankima8646 That's the point
At least Aussies didn't make emus extinct
As a Hawaiian, I would like to say Aroha to all of the Māori who might see this video and comment. Your guys culture and way of living is so unique and amazing to learn about,I hope you all are proud of your culture like how I’m proud of mine and never forget that we are from the greatest sea voyagers from all of humankind. 💜
Aloha our brother 😊
Yeah the culture that spread across Polynesia by singing kumbayah - unless you thought the Haka was a lullaby and the tattoos symbolised ‘peace’? News flash: they don’t.
I don’t have a problem with that especially, I just don’t like hypocrisy and this infantilising of native cultures which were often pretty brutal
@@mogznwazwhats changed? the fact more of it happens and more of us are too far away and morally disengaged? well in todays day and age things change overnight
@@mogznwazand cannibalistic
@@mogznwaz read the original comment again. no one said that. you are fighting an imaginary battle.
Im not Maori but I shed a few tears in the end because the passion and heart they all posses to keep their culture alive despite the horrors that have been inflicted upon them is... I have no words. Actual tears , keep it going
Thanks Lani it's nice to know non Maori sympathise with our people
The Māori also inflicted horrors upon others as they travelled across Polynesia - or did you think the Haka was just a show?
@@mogznwazyou are dedicated to trying to smear this culture. Aren't you loser?
@@mogznwaz yeah but we didn't do stuff as bad as what the English did!!
And Maori did same to Moriori, enslaved them
Sad how a 30 minute video taught me more about my ancestors than my entire schooling in NZ
I learnt all this in school
Just make this video part of curriculum
damn really? we learnt a tonne about Maori from primary all the way up to college.
@ Stacey Reiri Tell me about your Pakeha ancestors.....
@@jesseward568 yeah so did I. At Lincoln Heights Primary in the 1970s we learned almost all of this. My teacher in 1980 was fluent in Maori, as well.
As a kiwi, I expected this to be full of errors. But (apart from the pronunciation of Māori words) this was actually really really good. Well done!
Some of them were pretty good, but others I had to look at the screen to see the word was
Stfu
Tautoko
not really he got quite abit wrong,but nice try
I feel like people forget we were cannibals once... also good vid man you teach more about my culture then our schools do
Im glad you went into detail and didnt shy away from the pronunciation. Our language is slowly dying and people wanting to avoid it due to its difficulty is one of the reasons why. Love this video! Kia kaha x
As an Aussie who’s lived in NZ for 11 years (and did not go to school here), I’m glad to have watched this and learned a lot. Such a rich and interesting culture!
I’m Māori and I know most of what is stated in this video but I’d never heard of the Trojan whale lol I learned something new today. Thanks
What'd you think of the information and views presented in this video? (asking because I'm very ignorant on the topic and am curious)
This information is pretty accurate but if you want an interesting warfare in Maori land wars look up battle of gate pa
Honestly though the torjan whale defz got me 😂
@@whit882 the pronunciation is off with some Te Reo Maori words, like "pakeha" especially.
@@kzstu4404 thats something that comes with not knowing that the vowels are pronounced differently. its not a language you will hear outside of nz and even here most people only speak broken moari because alot dont put the time into learning it.
Being Maori, i was a little concerned at the start of this vid but i can honestly say that i am impressed and humbled with the depth of research that has obviously gone into this. Thank you
Yes... Good footage and pictures!
More like "being half Maori."

As an Aussie, I’d love to see a 27 minute video on “who are the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia”

@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh Why does that even matter lol?
*Australia losing the emu war*
*maori man hunts a tall swollen bird to instinction*

Maori are strong and very smart.
The maori not only ate birds, sometimes they also ate each other, and when the white guys arrived the maori ate some of them as well.

Loved this! The humor had me laughing. The facts were well delivered! Thanks so much for an awesome video.
As a Maori growing up in Aotearoa. This was well articulated & Very respectful to our culture thank you so much.
Where do you live now?
You are not a native, it's like saying German Australians are the natives after enough time...
@@adamski9952 what
@@currentlyexisting7269 @CurrentlyExisting "As of 2012 there were an estimated 2 million ethnic Polynesians (full and part) worldwide, the vast majority of whom either inhabit independent Polynesian nation-states (Samoa, Niue, Cook Islands, Tonga, and Tuvalu) or form minorities in countries such as Australia, Chile (Easter Island), New Zealand, France (French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna), and the United States (Hawaii and American Samoa), in addition to the British Overseas Territory of the Pitcairn Islands. New Zealand had the highest population of Polynesians, estimated at 110,000 in the 18th century" They came on boats too, killed the natives and now they are the natives called Māori. Like what Spain did to the Aztecs. The Māori are the Polynesian people of New Zealand, the Māori were settlers from East Polynesia.... You understand now?
@@adamski9952 yes but I don't really agree with you I'm gonna need more convincing from other people everywhere else calls them the native people of New zealand
Everytime im watching maoris im crying from respect. New Zealanders fought bravely in the greeks side the nazis in the battle of Crete. Thank to new Zealanders from the bottom of my heart. I wont forget
I want to visit Crete, I believe there are still people there who know what the New Zealanders did there.
@@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible everyone who knows history know what the new Zealanders did in ww2. You're always welcome to come

But really nice video! I've been watching your content for a little while now and I feel like my knowledge has expanded a lot, so thank you!
Thanks for an awesomely made, captivating and informative video. I am using this to teach my year 8 class about Polynesian expansion, along with some worksheets I made based on the video. Cheers!
Shoutout to the metal band Alien Weaponry for trying to bring awareness to their language
Yes dude good mates of mine awesome musos!!
Europeans sure did do a lot of these translation tricks with their "treaties".
When the italians tried to do this to ethiopia they lost a war against them once ethiopia learned what was in the treaty, and that's why ethiopia was never colonized (only occupied in the late interwar period and ww2)

Moreover, Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization are evil things done, and benefited by evildoers.History repeats itself. Remember, bloody Civil War finished up Slavery. Devastating World War II finished up centuries-old Anglo Western Colonialism worldwide. Likewise, would World War III, however bloody and devastating it may be, finish up global Colonization which has been lingering on from North America to South America, from Siberia & Far-East Asia to Australia & New Zealand?
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return them to rightful owners.
Remember, notorious global cardinal crimes that Anglo West had committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery and Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask?
@@mrsalwaysright6478 You're on point. May I ask, why don't they, Anglo Colonizers. all have a family reunion on their very own land of jolly old England?
Return the looted land of Canada to Native people there.
Return the looted Continent of Australia in Asia-Pacific to people of Asia-Pacific region.
Return the looted New Zealand to Native Maori people.

Probably one of the best documented UA-cam videos made about the Maoris
There's a new dawn awaiting, I guess one thing thing the pakeha system has taught us is their education system.

@@mogznwazew
I’ve lived in New Zealand and always found that they did a remarkably good job at promoting and conserving Māori culture when compared to other post-colonial countries. Of course, since I’m not Māori myself I can’t be certain, but from an outside perspective it seemed to be highly respected.
Hi a Maori here. I think we're treated the way we are because of the way we engage the Pakeha world view like politics and such they couldn't genocide US during colonisation so they used treaties and legislation to form a new nation and within that nation we kept fighting we built our own schools starting from kohanga/pr school right up to university /te wananga I aotearoa/ awanuiarangi.
and we never stop voicing our values a protest and we engage with parliament.
@@fentonpene6131 I'm pakeha but I'm pretty upset about the Maori Party's role as a National coalition partner.
From what I could gather, the Maori Party bent over backwards and actually acted against the interests of Maori on some of those issues like the Foreshore and Seabed Act.
It's no wonder that the party is pretty dead but I can't help but feel like there's less representation for Maori in parliament now because of it.
Well they almost wiped our culture out by the 40s and then basically rebuilt it in the 80s. Is the rebuilt 80s version that gets preserved.
Our language nearly died out there are a generation who do not speak te reo, im one who do not speak maori
@ccc ccc I 10000% disagree with your eurocentric analyses.
This was really well done and the research thorough. Kiaora
The metal band Alien Weaponry does a great job promoting Maori culture and language internationally and across many generations. I've learned about the introduction of fire arms into Aotearoa, the unjustice of Raupatu and concepts like Mana and Whakapapa through their lyrics! And I can 200% confirm to you that they put one hell of a show in their live performances
I live in Australia, and I had never heard or seen anything about this history!! Thank you for the crash course, I am certainly going to look further into Maori history.
Honestly, the Aussie-Kiwi bond that we parade needs to include Maori and First Nations/Torres Strait Islander representation more. I'm Maori and that indigenous solidarity can be just as meaningful as the British-colony one.
Yay :D!
@@judas4544 I second that motion because Australia is beautiful

This was awesome! Great information!
I descend from the Ariki (high chief) Wiremu Karaweko. I'm proud with how fast my ancestors were able to adapt to the new technologies that the Europeans bought over and how they were able to understand the European system of politics. Maori play a major role in parliament, many also play a large role in fields such as scientific research and the arts industry. We have come a long way in a very short time.
Yes great artists 🎨 👏
They dont play a major role, they play a minor role.
@@stringpuppet3626 They are shaping policies in parliament, writing theses, and have earned world wide recognition in the art and sports world. I don't know about you but I would consider that playing a major role. Not bad for a minority group.

Thanks for this video. I live in Brisbane Australia, a place where it seems many Maori people move too. Everyone I've met is always extremely generous, kind and they've taught me so much about their culture.

I was genuinely and very pleasantly surprised about how well done this video is. I'm European raised Maori and I honestly got a much clearer sense of some elements of my ancestor's history from this than I have from formal education here in Aotearoa. Great job. It's worth noting that Te Reo was actually banned for several decades.
Love the content of everything you've presented, in every program i've watched.The wacky 'guerrilla' humour is a not only enlivening but occasionally uproarious. Thanks a lot.
This was really good! Do the Saami next!
I second this
@sasquatch6197 yes! They are so cool.
I'm part Saami, and nobody knows about us. We have a really interesting history though, being one of the only indigenous groups in Europe.
I thought the same!
Norwegians, Swedes, Englishmen and Germans are also indigenous to Europe. But they are quite numerous and powerful, as opposed to the Saami.
This is really really well done! I cringe when foreigners do educational videos on our culture, I've found they take a bit of creative liberty.
Thank you for this quality history recap!
Mauri ora!
Great video, thanks for it!
Kiaora thankyou for sharing this awesome video .
Bro this was awesome. You’ve certainly done your homework. The use of animations, photos and videos are excellent. The humour was good without being offensive. Heck your video would do a way better job at educating our children than our own education system.
I could also tell you were doing your best to pronounce te reo properly.
Keep up the great work.
Wasn’t expecting this video but super happy since I have some Māori ancestry and have always wanted to learn more about their history and culture
Then you are Māori 💪🏽
Kai ora maori guy here. Maori society does not use blood quantum to identify how mucho something you are for example if you have an Irish mother and a maori father we would still consider you 100% irish an 100% maori we would encourage ownership of both.

Awesome and respectful summary. Thanks for including specifics about the Treaty - many kiwis don't even understand that part
It is amazing how the comments on each of your videos are full of surprise. Everybody surprised that you got things right! It is sad in a way because it means most media houses are not putting in any effort. For example, look at how bad Rowling did with native american culture. And she has access to sooo much too. But it is also really heartwarming as it shows how awesome people can be when they actually put in effort. Thank you for continuing to create these videos and allowing people like me to learn new things! You also present the videos in a very funny way. I cannot imagine how much time you must spend on each of these videos. So much research, then making the script, while adding jokes to it, the animation, the audio!!! You are amazing. You deserve so many more subscribers, youtube algorithm is not doing you fair.
Thank you very much! Comments like this mean so much :D
This Video is bloody excellent. Seriously, this was actually brilliant. Gave a really insightful look into the indigenous people of my own land, and as a NZ Pakeha, thought this did an excellent job of representing just how trash we were to the Maori. The pronunciation was pretty great also.
Thank you for this.

Yea I was surprised he pronounced some words better than non-Māori New Zealander's lol.
Hey mate, what about how the vikings casually paddled over and raped and pillaged the english and scottish....nz didnt get that treatment from the brits. Now Australia, thats a different story they tried genocide there
Perhaps you should read up on the genocide they committed on Chatham island.
@@dragondov How does the actions of a few individuals reflect on an entire Civilization? Maybe you should read up on the New Zealand wars. Or the treatment of the Aborigines in Australia, or Native American Indians, or the Inuit in Canada, or the Indians during the British Raj. I could go on. Do you think that some of those don't reflect upon your 'glorious' race? That's my point.
Well done brother. You'll soon be approaching One Million views and beyond. This was brilliant 👍

Thank you for teaching others about our country! Not many of my foreign online friends think of the Maori when I mention New Zealand. Some schools don't really teach this kind of stuff here. You also taught really well, and I'm glad you are helping the spread of Maori culture.
Māori culture has been spread for years ! When I was at junior school in England in the early 80s we did a whole project on NZ/Māori culture - we learnt a Māori song, dance, made our own headdresses with Māori patterns etc- I still have them today and still know the words off by heart. There was NO disrespect or ignorance even 40 years ago- the victimhood complex is new
Mad respect for the people of Aotearoa. Such a beautiful culture and people. It’s their grit and bravery that has helped them endure.
Going to school in the US, we learned about how the indigenous tribes were treated. Watching this video reminded me of that. I’m just really grateful that the Māori and Hawaiians have held on to and revived their cultures. Knowing your language and culture gives you a sense of identity, you draw closer to your ancestors, and your communities become stronger.
Why are you so damn entertaining while being hilarious?
I have watched all of your videos with great joy, thank you.
The most accurate UA-cam video I’ve seen on my culture so far! Thank you for actually stating facts even I was surprised when you mentioned information that really only our culture knows 😁
@Harley Dynasty Tell me about your European side now....
@@cascade3769 Norwegian & Welsh .. Go google about it yourself
Good viddy! I learnt a bit about Aotearoa from a 2 week(!) visit/tour/conference 25 yrs ago after some basic anthro stuff from college and working in a museum. Your viddy added a LOT to my understanding. Well, we visited a Pa on that trip, and they had a craft center, (basketry, wood carving, etc.) and the Maori guy in charge saw the NW Coast style print on a buddy's T-shirt and told him what tribe the design was from. (my buddy didn't know) That teacher was trans-Pacific savvy! Education matters, even if equality is still a ways off. The future culture of NZ will owe a lot to the Maori.
well researched and presented video
Wow, I knew the Māori were a fascinating people since I saw them in Civilization VI but jeez, I had no idea how deep and exciting their history was!
Bravo Cogito.
Wait, Māori are in Civ VI???? I MUST BUY IT NOW
@@yamum394 years really..I never knew that!!
@@AHD2105 Yeah, they were released in the 2nd expansion pack (Gathering Storm). They are really good in-game.
Wait there is a game that has them??!!
Tell me where to get it NOW
Thankyou for including that the english text was not correctly translated
Wow, that was beautiful 🥲. I have never heard of this history. Thank you.
This whole video just makes me happy, you very clearly did your research - i do have a sidenote thought; it's actually pretty interesting, we Maori would speak Te Reo yes, but each tribe also had their own dislects, as most countries of today do.
For example, some tribes dont pronounce their H and others say Kai instead of ngai
Love it brother. Thanks for the shout out to our culture its good to see that you took the time to find out and share this with people.chur
If I ever ever ever become a school teacher I’ll only use this channel’s videos. It’s so easy to understand❤️
Ha, glad to hear that :D
Cogito you’re doing a great job💕
Wow, brilliant video. incredible that you seem to have a deeper understanding of Maori and NZ history than a lot of Kiwis
This is an amazing video. Thankyou! Better than our own history curriculum.
As much as I was despising clicking on this video and watching it.. the first couple of minutes set the tone for the entire video. Besides the pronounciation I found nothing wrong.
You my friend have taken my expectations and thrown them out the window haha. Ka Pai!!! This is one of the BEST damn explanation videos I've ever come across, Thank you so much for doing the amount of research you had!! This is amazing my guy =)
Once you started talking about the sponsors, I started reading through all the comments and wasn't really listening to what you were saying. But that "haere ra" at the very end caught me by surprise and made me smile.
Really good video bro. Factual, insightful, and respectful. It's also very clear to see you put effort into your pronunciation which alone is just fantastic. Thank you!
KiaOra and thank you. I am a Kiwi and this was beautifully presented and told. I even learnt a thing or two. Thank you so much 👊
Thank you, I’ve been living in NZ for 21 years, always want to learn more about Māori culture. 🙏🏻😊
Thank you so much for covering the Maori! I love your content keep it up
Thanks, will do!
The indigenous Taiwanese people, maybe?
@ccc ccc yeah sure. It was just as a suggestion for a video : )
Would love a video on indigenous Taiwanese
Yes our ancestors 😍
Yes but mostly No, in the same way you could say everyone alive today is an African.
@@nzrockboi haha yesssss thats right , we are African by ancestry.
This was awesome
I clicked on this thinking it would be a short little thing but i am impressed by it's depth and quality
Never thought id see a cogito video on our people.
I have to say this was well researched video and the only slight criticism would be the pronunciation of some Māori words but on the whole was pretty accurate. Should have mentioned Pukehinahina/Gate pa an astounding Māori victory with one of the most impressive pa built. There were many other awesome pa though just had to get a shout out for my Iwi Ngāi Te Rangi.
Thank you :)
Thanks for the SUB!! I noticed! your videos are really good, I'm sure I will be coming to your channel to learn more history!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for this.
Thanks for the great kontent!
Glad you enjoy it!
This taught me a lot about my culture. My nana's first cousin, Joe Hawke, was one of the leaders in the Bastion Point protest in 1977 and 1978. She used to talk about him all the time. Nice video
