Ngati Whatua o Orakei are a hapu, of the Ngati Whatua iwi (tribe) based in New Zealand’s largest city, Tamaki Makaurau, commonly known as Auckland. Today, we number over 5,000 people who are scattered throughout the world, however our home-fires are centred around the Orakei Marae, a mere 10 minutes from the central business district of Auckland.

Torere-nui-a-rua is the venerated ancestress from whom all Ngai Tai are descended; Te Puhi Ariki o Tainui Waka, and the eponymous ancestress who gave her name to Torere, near Opotiki, where her descendants, Ngaitai Iwi, remain in occupation to this day. Ngaitai Iwi Authority at Torere Marae is the principal authority for Ngai Tai whanui katoa. Among the many Ngaitai interests represented by Ngaitai Iwi Authority included are services in fisheries, health, education, resource management and housing development on papa kainga lands.

The hapu of Ngai Tupoto today is centred around Motukaraka, Te Huahua and Tapuwae in the North Hokianga. A part of the iwi of Te Rarawa, the rohe runs from Rangiora (the Narrows) where we join with our whanaunga, the hapu of Te Ihutai, and Tautehere where we join with Ngati Temaara of Motuti and Ngati Manawa of Panguru. Ngai Tupoto's rohe is further defined by the maunga Rakautapu at Paponga. Approximately 5 minutes from car ferry.

Ngai Tai of Tamaki Makaurau and Hauraki are descendants of both Ngaitai Iwi of Torere and Ngati Tai tupuna from Tainui Waka, whilst Umupuia Marae is the principal turangawaewae for all Ngai Tai descendants in Tamaki Makaurau. About 12 generations ago Ngai Tai ancestress Te Raukohekohe, together with her sisters Te Motu-ki-Tawhiti and Te Kawenga, led a large migration of Ngaitai Iwi members from Torere to Hauraki – this event is remembered as Te Heke o Nga Tokotoru.

Ngai Tai Manawaiti, also called Ngati Tai Manawaiti, are both a related Ngai Tai hapu and direct lineal descendants of the original Ngati Tai Iwi; Nga Tupuna o Tainui Waka who first established Tainui occupation of the Tamaki Isthmus. Ngai Tai Manawaiti is the oldest surviving tribal identity of Ngati Tai in Tamaki, descending directly from the Ngati Tai ancestor Tai Manawaiti, who was in turn a direct descendant of the eponymous Ngati Tai ancestor Taihaua, from Tainui Waka.
