Ngati Tahu-Ngati Whaoa’s traditional rohe (tribal district) extends from Te Waiheke o Huka to the south.
We extend east to our pouwhenua at Ngapuketerua beyond the Rangitaiki River.
Our lands then spread northward across the plains of Kaingaroa to Wairapukao and further on to Pekepeke.
From here we extend to our northern pouwhenua at Maunga Kakaramea, turning west to the Paeroa Range and on to Orakei Korako on the banks of the Waikato River, the birth place and principal papakainga of Ngāti Tahu - Ngāti Whaoa.
From Orakei Korako we extend further west to Pohaturoa, an ancient Pā site.
