Te Arawa

Te Arawa is a Māori iwi (tribal group) from the North Island of New Zealand, primarily associated with the Rotorua and Taupō regions. It was established through ancestors who arrived in New Zealand on waka (canoes) centuries ago, and the tribe has a rich history of land, culture, and traditions. Te Arawa people are known for their art, storytelling, and strong communal identity. They continue to play a vital role in preserving Māori heritage, engaging in land management, cultural practices, and supporting their community’s well-being today.
