What was Kahungunu's role in New Zealand history?

Kahungunu, also known as Ngāti Kahungunu, was a large Māori iwi (tribe) that played a significant role in the history of New Zealand. They were one of the first iwi to settle in the Hawke's Bay region, where they developed a strong agricultural and fishing economy. Kahungunu played a key role in the early interactions between Māori and Europeans, as well as in important events such as the New Zealand Wars. They also played a significant role in the establishment of Treaty settlements and the protection and promotion of Māori culture and language. Today, Kahungunu continues to be an influential iwi with a strong presence in the Hawke's Bay region and beyond.
