Māori iwi in New Zealand
Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa are a Maori iwi (tribe) based at the Whangaroa Harbour harbour area in New Zealand's Northland Region.[1]
The iwi's rohe (tribal area) covers a coastal area from Kaeo and the Whangaroa Harbour in the east, to Oruaiti River, Mangonui and the eastern end of Doubtless Bay in the west. It extends just south of State Highway 10.[2] The rohe of Ngāti Kahu and Ngāpuhi neighbours the rohe of Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa.[1]
Another similarly named iwi — Ngāpuhi / Ngāti Kahu ki Whaingaroa — is also located in Northland.[3]
Hapū and marae
The iwi consists of the hapū (sub-tribes), who hold gatherings at marae (meeting places) and wharenui (meeting houses):
Governance
Kahukuraariki Trust is the iwi's post-Treaty settlement governance entity and is the iwi authority under planning law. Its board consists of one trustee elected by each of eight marae, plus one kaumātua elected by Te Rōpū Kaumatua.[1]
The iwi's rohe covers territory of Far North District Council and Northland Regional Council.[1]
