Thanks for the source.

Something I'm confused by: this article seems to credit Maoris for discovery of Antarctica long before Europeans, but they didn't arrive in Aotearoa (now-New Zealand) till the 14th century, and the paper claims 7th century contact. Wouldn't that mean their Moriori predecessors made this journey? Do Maoris consider themselves part of Moriori lineage?

Edit: looks like my knowledge on this came from old textbooks no longer deemed true. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-M%C4%81ori_settlement_of...

Even that aside, isn't the evidence a bit thin? Finding oral records of snow or ice doesn't mean a lot when icebergs pass by Aotearoa all the time.
