Indeed. The history of the Chatham islands is enough to dispell any notion that polynesians are somehow incapable of mass murder and enslavement. See

This history also illustrates that peacefulness is also within the capacity of any people.

Wow, interesting. We should all feel very lucky that we live in a time where we don't even have to kill our own food, much less each other. And we're only like half way to real peace.
