Those who were spared from death were herded like swine, and killed even from year to year.|Michael King}} The '''Moriori Genocide''' was the genocide and enslavement of the indigenous Moriori people of the Chatham Islands by Māori invaders from the tribes of Taranaki. This led to hundreds being killed, while the rest of them were enslaved.
