Kāti Māmoe

Kāti Māmoe or Ngāti Māmoe is a historical Iwi of the Māori . It originally came from the Heretaunga ( Napier ) region, but moved to the South Island of New Zealand in the 16th century, which at that time was alreadyinhabitedby other Māori called Waitaha .

The Kāti Māmoe were absorbed through marriage and conquests by the Ngāi Tahu , who moved to the South Island a year later . Today there is no special tribal organization of the Kāti Māmoe , but many Ngāi Tahu have links to them in their family tree ( Whakapapa ). Especially in the south of the South Islands, Māori marry as Ngai Tahu-Ngati Māmoe , a synthesis of both tribal groups.
