Te Taoū is a Māori hapū (sub-tribe) of Northland and Auckland in New Zealand.[1] Together with Te Uri-o-Hau, Te Roroa and Ngāti Whātua-o-Ōrākei, it comprises the iwi tribe of Ngāti Whātua. The four hapū can act together or separately as independent tribes.[1][2]

Ngāti Whātua descends from the ancestor Tuputupuwhenua (also known as Tumutumuwhenua). The iwi traces its arrival in New Zealand to the Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi canoe, which landed north of the Kaipara Harbour. They also descend from ancestors who migrated from Muriwhenua in the Far North and intermarried with the tribes in Ngāti Whātua's territory.[2]

Ake 1179 is the official station of Ngāti Whātua, but is not officially part of the iwi radio network.[3] It broadcasts on 1179 AM in Auckland, and features a combination of urban contemporary music and traditional storytelling.[4]
