The people who became moriori arrived on the islands around 1400 AD. They had no contact with other people for about 400 years and developed their own distinct culture. They were hunter gatherers with strong religious beliefs and outlawed war and killing. In 1790 an english ship the chatham was blown off course and landed on the main island. Later europeans sealers, settlers and whalers arrived. In 1835 two maori groups, Ngaiti Tama and Ngaiti Mutunga invaded the chatam islands.
