Our Iwi


​Registered Members - And counting...

Picture
Tāmanuhiri is the primary ancestor of our iwi (tribe), Ngāi Tāmanuhiri. He was born at Maraetaha and he was a descendant of Paikea and Tahu-Pōtiki. Tāmanuhiri lived around the same time as Rongowhakaata and Kahungunu, the eponymous ancestors of our immediate neighbours and whanaunga (kin tribal groups) known by the same names. Due to our whakapapa we also have close connections to Ngāti Porou and Ngāi Tahu.
​
There are five hapū (extended kin groups) referred to in the pepeha above that are recognised by Ngai Tāmanuhiri today. However many hap
ū are referred to in historical records.
​
Tāmanuhiri first married Rongomai
āwhia, then Hinenui, having a large number of children to both wives.  Through a great number of marriages, battles, and alliances, the descendants of Tāmanuhiri secured control over a rohe which, Ngāi Tāmanuhiri estate today refers to, ‘Mai i Paritū ki Koputūtea’ (stretches along the coast from Koputūtea in the north to Paritū in the south).
