Ngāti Hei
Ngāti Hei is a Māori iwi of New Zealand. Ngāti Hei is generally recognised as the dominant tribe of the Mercury Bay area. There has always been much speculation as to the origins of Māori people. Historians agree that Māori arrived in Aotearoa from place in the South Pacific Ocean called Hawaiiki, but its exact location has been the subject of much debate and speculation. By contrast, Ngāti Hei has much more definite ideas about whence they came. Ngāti Hei can trace its roots to the arrival of Kupe, the great navigator, who sailed from Tahiti to Aotearoa in 950AD and whose presence is commemorated in place names around the district. Ngāti Hei is named for the esteemed spiritual tauira (authority) Hei Te Arawa, who sailed with Kupe to Aotearoa on the waka. Ngāti Hei were reputed to be peaceable seafaring people. Unfortunately throughout history they endured much suffering at the hands of raiding parties who repeatedly stripped Ngāti Hei of their assets and slaughtered ...

Marutūāhu
__NOTOC__ Marutūāhu (also spelled, Marutūahu or Marutuahu) is a confederation of Māori ''iwi'' (tribes) in the Hauraki region (the Hauraki Gulf, Coromandel Peninsula and Hauraki Plains) of New Zealand. The confederation comprises the tribes of Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāti Whanaunga and Ngāti Rongoū. The Marutūāhu tribes are descended from Marutūāhu, a son of Hotunui. Ngāti Maru tradition says that Hotunui arrived in New Zealand on the ''Tainui'' canoe around 1300, but Pei Te Hurinui Jones reports that he was the son of Uenuku-te-rangi-hōkā, son of Whatihua and thus a fifteen-generation descendant of the captain of ''Tainui'' canoe, Hoturoa. In this case, he would have lived at the end of the sixteenth century. Either way, the Marutūāhu tribes are therefore part of the Tainui group of tribes. They are also part of the Hauraki collective of tribes. Marutūāhu married two sisters, Hineurunga and Paremoehau, and had five sons: *Tamatepō, ...

Ngāti Pūkenga
Ngāti Pūkenga is a Māori iwi centred in Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. Its rohe (tribal area) extends to Mayor Island / Tuhua and Waihi in the north, to the Kaimai Range in the west, south of Te Puke and to Maketu in the east, and it has tribal holdings in Whangārei, Hauraki and Maketu. Ngāti Pūkenga is part of the Tauranga Moana iwi group, which also includes Ngāi Te Rangi and Ngāti Ranginui. The three iwi all consider Mauao (Mt Maunganui) sacred and share many things in common. Collectively, the iwi are seeking compensation from the New Zealand Government for their losses from the New Zealand Wars but are yet to seek a settlement. History Pūkenga is the founding ancestor of the iwi. Pūkenga was of ''Mātaatua'' descent, and spent his life in Ruatoki. Upon his death, his people, known as Ngāti Hā, moved east towards Ōpōtiki. This resulted in the displacement of the tribe of Rōmainohorangi. Later, the displaced tribe, now known as Ng ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ngāti Huarere
Ngāti Huarere is a Māori iwi. It descends from Huarere, who arrived via the '' Arawa'' in the 14th century. History Ngāti Huarere was established by Huarere, the third son of Tuhoromatakakā in the mid to late 14th century. Tuhoromatakakā was himself son of Tama-te-kapua, the captain of the '' Arawa'', and had settled with his father at Moehau Range, in the Coromandel Peninsula. After Tuhoromatakakā died, his four brothers dispersed, but Huarere and his descendants remained at Moehau. Before Huarere took over this area, it was inhabited by descendants of Mokoterea, with whom the Ngāti Huarere intermarried. Before the Marutūāhu confederation expanded into the Coromandel Peninsula, the Ngāti Huarere consisted four main hapū: * Ngāti Pare, residing at Whangapoua. * Ngaāi Piri and Ngati Koheri, residing at Manaia harbour. * Ngāti Raukatauri, residing at the coast around Moehau. At one point, the Ngāti Huarere were also described as having a fifth (minor?) hapū, Ngā ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hauraki Plains
The Hauraki Plains are a geographical area located in the northern North Island of New Zealand, at the lower (northern) end of the Thames Valley, New Zealand, Thames Valley. They are located 75 kilometres south-east of Auckland, at the foot of the Coromandel Peninsula and occupy the southern portion of a rift valley bounded on the north-west by the Hunua Ranges, to the east by the Coromandel Range, Coromandel and Kaimai Range, Kaimai ranges and to the west by a series of undulating hills which separate the plains from the much larger plains of the Waikato River.

Ngāti Hako
Ngāti Hako is a Māori iwi of New Zealand. The people of Ngāti Hako are acknowledged as the earliest settlers in the Hauraki region. Although Ngāti Hako endured long periods of conflict with the Marutūāhu peoples, they were never completely overcome. They have maintained a presence in Hauraki to the present day. Their origins are not known, but it is suggested that they belonged to the ancient Te Tini o Toi people, who were descendants of the Polynesian navigator Toitehuatahi. The survival of Ngāti Hako through the period of Marutūāhu expansion was assisted by a strategic marriage. The high-born Ngāti Hako woman Ruawehea was married to Tamatera, the son of Marutūāhu. The special relationship between Ngāti Hako and the lands of Hauraki is recalled in their traditional call of welcome. See also *List of Māori iwi This is a list of iwi (New Zealand Māori tribes).

Te Patukirikiri is a Māori iwi of the Tāmaki and Hauraki areas of New Zealand.
