The Rekohu people of the Chatham Islands whose Nunuku's Law of non-violence stands as one of humanity's most remarkable ethical commitments, and whose story of survival and revival carries a dignity that no conquest could permanently silence.
Moriori people — descendants of Polynesian voyagers who settled the remote Chatham Islands, known to them as Rekohu, and over centuries developed a culture uniquely shaped by isolation and peace. Under the covenant of Nunuku, they renounced warfare, choosing a path of non-violence that defined their society for generations. When Māori invaders arrived in 1835, that covenant came at a devastating cost. Yet the Moriori survived, and their descendants today are reclaiming language, identity, and the memory of a people who chose peace as their highest law. This interactive t-shirt connects you to that Rekohu covenant and Moriori Chatham Islands heritage legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
