Ngati hotu



Ngati Hotu is the name of a tribe of people who are sometimes described as "pre fleet" or pre Māori who reportedly lived in the central north island of New Zealand in the area surrounding Lake Taupo, where the modern day Tuwharetoa iwi now resides. Māori oral tradition has passed down descriptions of the appearance of these people who have survived to the present day; these include ones made by chief Te Heuheu Tukino IV in the late 19th century, which used such words as "Urukehu" (meaning "reddish/golden hair") and "Kiriwhero" ("reddish skin").
