Ngāti Koata whakapapa back to Koata who lived near Kāwhia in the 17th century. She had two sons, Kāwharu and Te Wehi (founder of Ngāti Te Wehi).[1] Te Totara pa on the south shore of Kāwhia was shared with Ngāti Toa in the early 19th century.[2] Following the musket wars, many of the iwi moved south to Kapiti Island and then Te Tau Ihu in the mid 1820s.[3]
Claims to land were considered by Parliament in 1929[4] and 1936.[5] The latter related to land at Wakapuaka and the role of Te Rauparaha.[6]
13 pa sites in the area of Raglan, Te Uku, Te Ākau, Ruapuke and Aotea have been associated with Ngāti Koata.[7]
The Ngāti Koata Trust was formed after signing the iwi's $11.76m.[8] The tribe's Deed of Settlement was signed at Whakatū Marae in Nelson on 20 December 2012.[9][10]
Ngāti Koata logo was designed and gifted to the iwi by Puhanga Tupaea.
