Ngāti Koata

Ngāti Koata or Ngāti Kōata is a Māori iwi of New Zealand, originating on the west coast of Waikato, but now mainly at the northern tip of South Island.

[1] Te Totara pa on the south shore of Kāwhia was shared with Ngāti Toa in the early 19th century.

[2] Following the musket wars, many of the iwi moved south to Kapiti Island and then Te Tau Ihu in the mid 1820s.

[8] The tribe's Deed of Settlement was signed at Whakatū Marae in Nelson on 20 December 2012.

[9][10] Ngāti Koata logo was designed and gifted to the iwi by Puhanga Tupaea.
