Te Uri-o-Hau

Te Uri-o-Hau is a Māori iwi (tribe) of the greater Ngāti Whātua confederation.[1] While some have considered it to be merely a hapū (subtribe) of Ngāti Whātua, Te Uri-o-Hau can act independently of the other 3 principle iwi of the Ngāti Whātua Confederation (Ngāti Whātua-o-Ōrākei, Te Roroa and Te Taoū). Te Uri-o-Hau itself has hapū within it.[2] Its rohe (area) includes Dargaville, Maungaturoto, Mangawhai, Kaiwaka, Wellsford and the Kaipara Harbour.[3] In 2018 it was estimated 1,314 people were affiliated to the iwi, based on 2018 New Zealand Census data.[4]
