The main social units in Maori culture are Waka (canoe), Iwi (tribe), Hapu (sub-tribe) and Whanau (extended family). Iwi is an extended kinship group usually connected by a common ancestor and/or a migratory Waka or canoe. Iwi, though commomnly translated as 'tribe' can mean people, nation, or race. Iwi literally means 'bone' so a common Maori expression "I'm am going back to my bones" refers to a return to their Iwi.
