Ngāti Rāruaare aMāoritribe (iwi)of theTainuitribal confederation.[1][2]
Ngāti Rārua stem from the marriage of Rārua-ioio andTū-pāhauand, like other Tainui tribes,[a]had their original home in theWaikato,specifically on the west coast of theKing Countryregion, atKāwhia,MarokopaandWaikawau.In 1821 Ngāti Rārua moved southwards in a series of migrations (heke) led byTe RauparahaofNgāti Toawhich saw the iwi relocate toNelsonandMarlboroughin the upperSouth Island.
