In New Zealand society, iwi (Māori pronunciation: [ˈiwi]) form the largest social units in Māori culture. The word iwi means "peoples" or "nations", and is often translated as "tribe", or a confederation of tribes.
Most Māori in pre-European times gave their primary allegiance to relatively small groups such as hapū ("sub-tribe") and whānau ("family").
