 Chatham Island Moriori representatives are not supportive of the release or sale of this book as it is another example of someone making money out of the cultural and intellectual property rights of Moriori.Moriori do not consider themselves to be 'Bird People" either, but can rightfully claim synergy with the creations of nature all around them.Moriori have been the guardians of Rekohu since the dawn of time and were doing a good job until they were interrupted in 1791 by a European 'discovery.'
