Ngāti Kahu is a Māoriiwi 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 wakaMāmaru. The captain of Māmaru was Te Parata who married Kahutianui.
McCully Matiu, kaumātua rangatira of Ngāti Kahu until his death in 2001, provided the following genealogical account of his Ngāti Kahu ancestry: "In the accounts of the descent lines of Ngāti Kahu, Kahutianui married Te Parata and Māmangi was born. Māmangi had Tūkanikani, Tūkanikani had Hāpute. Hāpute had Haiti-tai-marangai. Haiti-tai-marangai had Tūpōia, Huungahuunga, Tahuroa, Taramaia, Mokokohi and Aukiwa. 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). All Ngāti Kahu can trace their genealogy back to their founding ancestors.
