Ko te heke a te iwi Māori ki ngā tāone tētahi o ngā nekehanga tino tere rawa atu o tētahi iwi i te ao. I te tau 1926, e 84% te tokomaha o ngā Māori e noho ana ki ngā whenua o ō rātou iwi. Kia tae ki te tau 1986, e 80% te tokomaha e noho ana ki ngā tāone, e rapu ana i te oranga. Nā te tere horo o te iwi ki ngā tāone, ka ngaro ētahi, ka whakamomori ētahi. Heoi nā te ara ake anō o te reo me ngā tikanga Māori i te tekau tau atu i 1970, kua tū kaha anō ngā Māori kei ngā tāone, kua whakakotahi hoki i a rātou anō.
