  Iwi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iwi (pronounced ee-wee) are the largest everyday social units in Māori society.
Iwi groups can trace their ancestry to the original Māori settlers that arrived from Hawaiiki, at least according to tradition.
A notable example of this is the recent settlement between the New Zealand Government and the Ngāi Tahu, compensating that iwi for various losses of the rights that were guaranteed in the Treaty of Waitangi of 1840.

AUCKLAND -- A Maori tribe which has already laid claim to 80% of New Zealand's South Island has rocked the nation by winning a landmark ruling of the Waitangi Tribunal that the tribe be granted the lion's share of the national fisheries.

Under the Treaty of Waitangi, which established British governorship over New Zealand, the indigenous Maori chiefs and tribes were guaranteed “full, exclusive, and undisturbed possession of their lands, and estates, forests, fisheries and other properties”.
