Ngāi Te Ohuake is a Māori iwi (tribe) centred around Tōrere in the central North Island.[1][2] It is one of four iwi in the Mōkai Pātea confederation,[1] along with Ngāti Hauiti, Ngāti Tamakōpiri, and Ngāti Whitikaupeka. The iwi claims descent from Kahungunu, a son of Tamatea Pōkai Whenua and his wife Iwipupu.[3] As such, Ngāi Te Ohuake trace their origins to the Tākitimu waka.
