Tuhoe

Tuhoe is a Māori tribal community in New Zealand, known as the "Children of the Mist" because of their association with dense, misty forests in the Te Urewera region. Historically, they have maintained strong cultural traditions, language, and connection to their land. Tuhoe played a significant role in New Zealand's history, especially in advocating for rights and sovereignty. Today, they continue to preserve their identity through cultural practices, governance, and eco-friendly initiatives, fostering a sense of community and resilience rooted in their ancestral whenua (land).
