Iwi (Māori pronunciation:) are the largest social units in New Zealand Māori society. In Māori, iwi roughly means ' people ' or ' nation ', [1] [2] and is often translated as "tribe", [3] or "a confederation of tribes". The word is both singular and plural in the Māori language, and is typically pluralised as such in English.
The name refers to the ancestor Huakaiwaka, who in the 1600s joined Ngā Oho, Ngā Riki and Ngā Iwi to form a confederation that spanned the region for three generations, until the mid-1700s. [1] Members of this rōpū include Te Ākitai Waiohua , Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki , Te Kawerau ā Maki , Ngāti Tamaoho and Ngāti Te Ata .
Ngā Oho was used as a unifying name for Tainui peoples in Tāmaki Makaurau. [4] By the 14th century, Ngā Oho had settled in the Waitākere Ranges area. [5] Ngā Oho's rohe once spanned from Cape Rodney/Okakari Point near Leigh to Tauranga. [2] The iwi is named either after one of two historical rangatira Ohomairangi, or Ohomatakamokamo. [1]

Ngāti Toa, also called Ngāti Toarangatira or Ngāti Toa Rangatira, is a Māori iwi (tribe) based in the southern North Island and the northern South Island of New Zealand. [1] Ngāti Toa remains a small iwi with a population of about 9,000. The iwi is centred around Porirua, Plimmerton, Kāpiti, Blenheim and Arapaoa Island.
