Who are the tribes of Mataatua?
The tribes of Mataatua are a group of Māori iwi (tribes) from the eastern North Island of New Zealand, particularly associated with the Mataatua waka (canoe). Key tribes include Ngāti Awa, Ngāi Tūhoe, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui, and Ngāti Porou, among others. These tribes share cultural and historical connections stemming from their common ancestry and heritage linked to the Mataatua canoe. The region is known for its rich Māori culture and history.

Do the Maori have Witch doctors?
Maori have tohunga or people that specialise in specific arts. There were many different types of tohunga or specialists - people that practiced carving, medicine, tatooing, plant growing, had knowledge of the stars and earth, had knowledge of prayers, had knowledge of curses, spoke to the bones of the dead and had special sight. You could call them witch doctors, but they were considered people who specialised in specific types of skills. From 1907 to 1964, tohunga were suppressed under the Tohunga Suppression Act in New Zealand. Via this process, a large amount of the knowledge that tohunga had was lost. However, there are stories of children who hear the ancestors. I watched a story on Maori TV and an old man was talking about a young Maori girl who couldn't speak Maori speaking to him in Maori about his childhood. Some of the knowledge may have been lost to us, but our ancestors can still speak to us and through us.
