Missionaries such as Henry Williams noted that even in times of war against another iwi, hapū usually operated independently. [citation needed] In the period of the Musket Wars (1807–1842) many of the battles involved fighting between competing hapū rather than different iwi. It was not uncommon for two hapū from the same iwi to clash.
Related but less important factors, are that a hapu may belong to more than one iwi, a particular hapu may have belonged to different iwi at different times, the tension caused by the social and economic power moving from the iwi down rather than from the hapu up, and the fact that many iwi do not recognise spouses and adoptees who do not have ...

The iwi's first experience of musket warfare came in 1819, when a raid by Ngāpuhi rangatira Te Morenga led to the capture and killing of many members, including ...
Te Ūpokorehe was included as a hapū within Whakatōhea when the Whakatōhea Māori Trust Board was established in 1952. [2] Hapū members were considered part of Whakatōhea, an iwi tracing its heritage back to ancestors arriving on the waka (migration canoes) Te Arautauta, Nukutere and Mātaatua.
The status of Rereahu as an iwi or hapu is subject to dispute. Te Puni Kōkiri refers to them as a hapu within Ngāti Maniapoto and Ngāti Raukawa, [9] while the Māori Maps project administered by Te Potiki National Trust calls them an iwi and a hapu in different contexts. [20]
Between 2008 and 2017, Finlayson was credited with helping to resolve 60 Treaty settlements. [33] As well as the much publicised land and financial compensation, many of these later settlements included changing the official place names. This introduced significant numbers of macrons into official New Zealand place names for the first time. [34]
