Ngāti Mutunga is a Māori iwi (tribe) of New Zealand, whose original tribal lands were in north Taranaki. They migrated from Taranaki, first to Wellington (with Ngāti Toa and other Taranaki Hāpu), and then to the Chatham Islands (along with Ngāti Tama) in the 1830s. The rohe of the iwi include Wharekauri (Chatham Island), Te Whanga Lagoon and Waitangi on Chatham Island, and Pitt Island, also part of the Chatham Islands.[1] The principal marae are at Urenui in Taranaki, and on the Chatham Islands.
