tangata whenua
Tangata whenua ((:ˈtaŋata ˈfɛnʉ.a)) is a Māori term of the indigenous peoples of New Zealand and literally means "people of the land", from ''tangata'', 'people' and ''whenua'' 'land'.
==Etymology==
According to Williams' definitive ''Dictionary of the Māori Language'', ''tangata'' means "man" or "human being", whilst ''tāngata'' (with the long ā) is the plural meaning "people"; ''tangata'' (without the macron) can also mean "people" in reference to a group with a singular identity. ''Whenua'' means both "land" and "placenta" (again referencing Williams, who lists five definitions). Unlike European thought where people own land, in Māori the land is regarded as a mother to the people. The relationship to land is not dissimilar to that of the foetus to the placenta. In addition, there are certain Māori rituals involving burying the afterbirth of a newborn in ancestral land, which may further shed light on the use of the word ''whenua'' for both land and placenta.
