Tūhoe is an indigenous Māori iwi (tribe) located in the Urewera region of New Zealand. Known as the "Children of the Mist," Tūhoe has a rich cultural heritage and a strong connection to their ancestral lands, which include the Te Urewera National Park. The iwi has its own unique dialect and traditions, reflecting their distinct identity within the Māori community. The Tūhoe people have a history of resilience and self-determination, particularly in their struggles for land rights and recognition. In 2013, the New Zealand government signed a historic settlement with Tūhoe, acknowledging their grievances and restoring some of their ancestral lands. This agreement marked a significant step in the ongoing journey of reconciliation between the iwi and the government.
