Ngāti Tahu-Ngāti Whaoa’s traditional rohe (tribal district) extends from Te Waiheke o Huka to the south.
We extend east to our pouwhenua at Ngāpuketerua beyond the Rangitāiki River.
Our lands then spread northward across the plains of Kāingaroa to Wairapukao and further on to Pekepeke.
From here we extend to our northern pouwhenua at Maunga Kākaramea, turning west to the Paeroa Range and on to Ōrākei Kōrako on the banks of the Waikato River, the birth place and principal papakāinga of Ngāti Tahu-Ngāti Whaoa.
From Ōrākei Kōrako we extend further west to Pōhaturoa, an ancient Pā site.
