The Māʼohi (Tahitians) are the Polynesian ethnic group indigenous to the Society Islands (Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Bora Bora) and, by extension, French Polynesia. East Polynesian settlement of the Society Islands is dated by modern high-precision radiocarbon chronologies to roughly AD 1000-1120, making the Society Islands (with the Marquesas) one of the earliest-settled central East Polynesian archipelagos, from which the later colonizations of Hawaii, Rapa Nui, and Aotearoa/New Zealand ultimately derived.
Not an ending: the Mā’ohi remain the people of Tahiti. The map hands off to the Pōmare kingdom and then French Polynesia.
