The following is a list of the Māori iwi of New Zealand. This list has been adapted from the list on the Māori Wikipedia. Many of the iwi names are frequently spelt with macrons over some letters - they have been omitted here to make it easier to link to articles - please check with the list from Māori Wikipedia for macron usage. Alternative names for some iwi are given in brackets. A more authoritative source is the list in the book: Iwi: The dynamics of Māori tribal organisation from c1769 to c1945 by Angela Ballara (1998, Victoria University Press, Wellington) ISBN 0864733283.
