Excerpt: Ng i Tahu, or K i Tahu, is the principal M ori iwi (tribe) of the southern region of New Zealand, with the tribal authority, Te R nanga o Ng i Tahu, being based in Christchurch and Invercargill. The iwi combines three groups, K i Tahu itself, and Waitaha and K ti Mamoe who lived in the South Island prior to the arrival of K i T hu. The five primary hap of the three combined groups are K ti Kur, Ng ti Irakehu, K ti Huirapa, Ng i T huriri and Ng i Te Ruakihikihi. Some people claim to be explicitly descended from one or both of Waitaha and K ti Mamoe wh nui, often in conjunction with K i Tahu. However, others argue that due to conflict and intermarriage these groups have been incorporated into K i Tahu, and are no longer distinct. The iwi's takiw (tribal area), the largest in New Zealand, extends from Kaikoura in the north to Stewart Island / Rakiura in the south, and includes the West Coast area, Tai Poutini. Te R nanga o Ng i Tahu constitutes 18 r nanga/r naka representing geographical areas, generally based around traditional settlements. The Ngai Tahu Claims Settlement Act was passed in 1998 to record an apology from the Crown, and to settle claims made under the Treaty of Waitangi. One of the provisions made was the use of dual M ori and English names for geographical locations in its tribal area. Ng i Tahu trace their traditional descent from Tahup tiki, the younger brother of Porou Ariki, founding ancestor of Ng ti Porou, a tribe of the East Coast of the North Island. They originated on the east coast of the North Island, from where they migrated south to present-day Wellington. In the late 17th century they began migrating to the northern part of the South Island. There they and K ti Mamoe fought Ng i Tara and Rangit ne in the Wairau Valley. Ng ti M moe then ceded the east coast regions north of the Clarence River to Ng i Tahu. Ng i Tahu continued to push south, conquering Kaikoura. By the 1690s, Ng i Tahu had settled in Canterbury, including Banks Peninsu
