About: Rāhiri

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Rāhiri (estimated to have lived sometime between 1475-1585) is the tūpuna (ancestor) of Ngāpuhi of Northland and Ngāti Rāhiri Tumutumu of the Hauraki District in New Zealand. The Ngāpuhi today is the largest Māori iwi (tribe) in New Zealand. Rāhiri's significance for Ngāpuhi is that all the chiefly lines of descent in Ngāpuhi trace descent through him. As the saying goes: Mehemea he uri koe no Ngāpuhi, kihai e koe i heke ia Rāhiri, he hoiho ke koe! (If you are Ngāpuhi and do not descend from Rāhiri, then you are a horse!)
