Tangata whenua (Māori pronunciation: [ˈtaŋata ˈfɛnʉ.a]) is a New Zealand Māori term that translates to 'people of the land'. It can refer to either a specific group of people with historical claims to a district, or more broadly, the Māori people whose ancestors have occupied the land for so many generations that they are considered to have become part of the land.
