The so-called Batlle of Poike Ditch has been completely debunked - no battle occurred and no one was roasted alive.

In spite of what I posted above or elsewhere, the most up-to-the-minute theories actually say there weren't two tribes at all: there were two CLASSES, same genetics and lineage (all from Hotu Matua) and that the thin people overthrew the corpulent people, but they were all of the same race and, if one were to go back 30-40 generations, all realted.

Tune in again in six more months when the anthropologists and archaeologists have ANOTHER reversal on this issue...

This documentary, by Horizon, affirms the Poike Dith theory.
