Ngāti Kahu is a Māori iwi of Northland, New Zealand. The iwi is one of the six Muriwhenua iwi of the far north of the North Island. Ngāti Kahu take their name from their founding ancestress, Kahutianui, and link their ancestry back to the waka Māmaru. The captain of Māmaru was Te Parata who married Kahutianui. Ngāti Kahu identify themselves through the following series of markers captured in their iwi (tribal) aphorism: Ko Maungataniwha te maunga (Maungataniwha is the mountain), Ko Tokerau te moana (Tokerau is the sea), Ko Kahutianui te tupuna (Kahutianui is the ancestress), Ko Te Parata te tangata (Te Parata is the man), Ko Māmaru te waka (Mamaru is the canoe), Ko Ngāti Kahu te iwi. (Ngati Kahu is the tribe). 〔'Te Whānau Moana - Nga Kaupapa me ngā tikanga - Customs and protoocols' by McCully Matiu and Margaret Mutu. ISBN 0-7900-0839-4. Page 20.

Māmangi had Tūkanikani, Tūkanikani had Hāpute. Hāpute had Haiti-tai-marangai. Haiti-tai-marangai had Tūpōia, Mokokohi and Tahuroa. Tahuroa had Hautapu. Hautapu had Wai-puiārangi. Wai-puiārangi married Moroki, and Mohotu was born. Mohotu had Te Ao-ka-waiho. Te Ao ka-waiho had Tūrou. Tūrou had Tangi-kāo. Tangi-kāo married Matahina and Te Rātahi was born. Te Rātahi married Te Ao and Hēnihīkahe was born. Hēni married Te Paekoi and Matiu was born. Matiu married Kiritiana and Reihana was born. Reihana married Hoana and the speaker, McCully Matiu, was born. That completes this descent line" (ibid).
