The main social units in Maori culture are Waka (canoe), Iwi (tribe), Hapu (sub-tribe) and Whanau (extended family). Iwi is an extended kinship group usually connected by a common ancestor and/or a migratory Waka or canoe. Iwi, though commomnly translated as 'tribe' can mean people, nation, or race. Iwi literally means 'bone' so a common Maori expression "I'm am going back to my bones" refers to a return to their Iwi.
King Tawhiao's pepeha is "Ko Taupiri te maunga, Ko Waikato te awa, Ko Maniapoto te iwi." This indicates his connection to Mount Taupiri as the mountain, the Waikato River as the river, and the Maniapoto tribe as his people.
