Muriwhenua means ‘this is the end of the land’. The Muriwhenua tribal territory forms the tail of Māui’s fabled fish, including the northernmost tip of New Zealand – Cape Rēinga. Tradition holds that this is where spirits of the dead depart. Rich in such legends, the history of these six tribes is also one of ancestral lands lost and reclaimed.
