Ngāi Tūhoe (Māori pronunciation: [ˈŋaːi ˈtʉːhɔɛ]) a Māori iwi (tribe) of New Zealand takes its name from an ancestral figure Tūhoe-pōtiki. The word tūhoe literally means steep or high noon in the Māori language. Tūhoe people also bear the sobriquet Nga Tamariki o te Kohu (the children of the mist).
