He tongi na Kiingi Taawhiao The Waikato-Tainui website has been designed to give tribal members an opportunity to learn about and engage with the work of the tribe's administration authority, the Waikato-Tainui Te Kauhanganui Incorporated. All peoples - national and international visitors, are invited to share in Waikato-Tainui culture, our distinct history, and realise our vision to grow a properous, healthy, vibrant, innovative and culturally strong iwi (tribe). For more information, please see Background to Raupatu. Nau mai haere mai Tainui was the name of an infant who did not survive childbirth. At the child's burial site grew a great tree. This tree was used to build the voyaging waka (canoe), Tainui. Led by the chief Hoturoa, the Tainui waka was one of the migratory canoes that voyaged from Hawaiiki across the Pacific Ocean to Aotearoa over 800 years ago. There are four principal tribes that comprise the Tainui waka. They are: Hauraki, Ngaati Maniapoto, Raukawa and Waikato.
