List of Māori iwi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of the Māori iwi of New Zealand.

This list has been adapted from the list on the Māori Wikipedia. Many of the iwi names are frequently spelt with macrons over some letters - they have been omitted here to make it easier to link to articles - please check with the list from Māori Wikipedia for macron usage. A more authoritative source is the list in the book Iwi by Angela Ballara.

Alternative names for some iwi are given in brackets:
