Eastern Pacific lands ; Tahiti and the Marquesas islands . he character of some of theAsiatic explorers who must have visited this part of theEastern Pacific prior to the Europeans. In Maori, the word Karioi means debauched, profligate, good-for-nothing. In Marquesan, the equivalent is KaioiIn Rarotongan, the adjective appears as Kariei.
