Te Patukirikiri is a MÃÂori iwi of the TÃÂmaki and Hauraki areas of New Zealand. It has its origins in the Waiohua Confederation, a group of tribes that are located in the TÃÂmaki isthmus and trace back to the Tainui Waka. Te Patukiriri is a small iwi with only 45 people identifying as being a descendant in the 2013 New Zealand census.
Despite not having a direct line with the Marutà «ahu Confederation, Te Patukirikiri is currently a member of the Marutà «ahu Collective which seeks redress from the Crown. Their area of interest is split into two, with one area in east TÃÂmaki and a second disconnected area of interest in the Hauraki gulf. As such, they are also a member of The Tamaki Collective and the Pare Hauraki Collective.
