Not sure where to begin?
Talk with whānau or someone you trust about names and places you know. Ask the iwi or hapū office what help is available.

Sources and coverage
This index contains 117 distinct iwi and group pages linked from all 13 regional pages of Te Kāhui Māngai, retrieved 25 October 2026. It reflects that directory’s scope, which includes statutory and settlement groupings. It is not a complete account of every iwi, hapū or historical identity. Names retain the source’s spelling, including iwi preferences. Directory regions are navigation aids, not exclusive rohe boundaries.
