Era 1 – Pama-Nyungan (Aesthete)
The Pama-Nyungan languages graced the tongues of various groups that gradually spread across the vast expanse of Australia from the mid-Holocene era onward. These linguistic communities not only introduced their languages and social structures but also ushered in new cultural and artistic expressions as they established their roots.
Era 2 – Polynesians (Expansionist)
In the waning centuries of the first millennium BCE, the islands of Tonga, Samoa, and Uvea formed a remarkable triangle where the cradle of Polynesian culture emerged. Within this immense oceanic realm, Polynesians pioneered ingenious navigation techniques that propelled their expansive journeys across the Pacific, marking an era of exploration and expansion.
Era 3 – Rapa Nui (Builder)
Around the 1100s, the Rapa Nui people undertook a remarkable colonization of Easter Island. Despite the challenging environmental conditions, they not only survived but also harnessed the island’s mineral resources to create an awe-inspiring landscape adorned with monumental statues and ceremonial structures, symbolizing their prowess as builders.
Era 4 – Māori (Militarist)
The Māori population primarily settled on Te Ika-a-Māui, known as the North Island. Here, they established a thriving and intricate society characterized by clan structures and extended families. This society’s cohesion was forged through periods of conflict and warfare, marking an era dominated by militaristic pursuits.
Era 5 – Hawaiians (Agrarian)
Commencing in the late 1700s, Hawaiian society embarked on a transformative journey. Political consolidation and increased interactions with foreign cultures reshaped their highly stratified systems. Yet, amidst these changes, Hawaiians continued their stewardship of both the land and the sea, exemplifying an era of agrarian excellence.
Era 6 – New Zealanders (Scientist)
In the 1940s and 1950s, New Zealand embarked on a journey of independence, gradually distancing itself from the British imperial framework. Over the ensuing decades, the nation’s leaders expanded upon the social foundations laid by the Seddon and Savage governments. Simultaneously, they invested in cutting-edge technologies to secure the country’s energy independence, marking an era characterized by scientific advancements and progressive policies.
