Tāmaki Māori are Māori iwi and hapū (tribes and sub-tribes) who have a strong connection to Tāmaki Makaurau (the Auckland Region),[1] and whose rohe was traditionally within the region. Among Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau (the Māori tribes of Auckland), also known as the Tāmaki Collective, there are thirteen iwi and hapū, organised into three rōpū (collectives),[2] however Tāmaki Māori can also refer to subtribes and historical iwi not included in this list.

Ngāti Whātua Rōpū[]

Ngāti Whātua descend from the Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi waka, which landed north of the Kaipara Harbour.[3] The rōpū includes Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara, Ngāti Whātua-o-Ōrākei and Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua.[4]

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua is a Māori Trust Board formed in the mid 2000s to represent the interests of Ngāti Whātua iwi and hapū collectively, including those outside of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and Ngāti Whātua-o-Ōrākei. The rūnanga represents Ngā Oho, Ngāi Tāhuhu, Ngāti Hinga, Ngāti Mauku, Ngāti Rango, Ngāti Rongo, Ngāti Ruinga, Ngāti Torehina, Ngāti Weka, Ngāti Whiti, Patuharakeke, Te Parawhau, Te Popoto, Te Roroa, Te Urioroi, Te Taoū, Te Uri Ngutu, Te Kuihi and Te Uri-o-Hau.[5][2]

Waiohua Tāmaki Rōpū[]

Te Waiohua tribes descend from the Te Wakatūwhenua and Moekākara waka.[1] 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.[4]

Marutūāhu Rōpū[]

The Marutūāhu collective descends from the Tainui waka, and are based around the Hauraki Gulf. The five iwi descend from the five sons of the ancestor Marutūahu.[6] Members of this rōpū are Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāti Whanaunga and Ngāti Rongoū.[4]
