Te Whakatōhea is a Māori iwi of the eastern Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand.[1][2] Their traditional territory extends along the coastline eastwards from Ōhiwa Harbour to Opape, and inland to Mātāwai, and is centred in the area around the town of Ōpōtiki. These lands have long held an abundance of food resources, particularly seafood. All their historical pā were situated near the coast, to defend the marine resources.[3]
