Ngā Oho

Ngā Oho was a Māori iwi of Tāmaki Makaurau, the Auckland region. By the 14th century it had settled in the Waitākere Ranges; a branch later lived at Papakura.

In the seventeenth century Hua Kaiwaka united Ngā Oho, Ngā Riki and Ngā Iwi as Waiohua. Its dominance ended in the mid-eighteenth century, when chief Kiwi Tāmaki was killed fighting Te Taoū and Ngāti Whātua. The name Ngā Oho was revived when Ngāti Whātua settled the Tāmaki isthmus, describing a group of shared Waiohua and Ngāti Whātua ancestry.
