Iwi Profiles 2006
Iwi profiles were completed for iwi who consented with a population of 1,000 and over.
The same profile was produced for all iwi, a change from 2001 and 1996 when limited profiles were produced for iwi with a population of between 1,000 and 5,000. There was also no inside/outside of the iwi takiwā comparison in the 2006 profiles.
The other topics covered have largely remained the same as in previous years, with the addition in 2006 of the cyclical topics of smoking and number of children born.
The iwi profiles are now available on request from Statistics New Zealand (or directly through the iwi).
A list of iwi who have consented (as at 16/09/2008) and have profiles available on request is attached in pdf format.
If you have questions about the production or public availability of iwi profiles, please consult the link below.

Rationale
Statistics on the size and demographic characteristics of Iwi affiliates are needed
- to allow the Crown and Iwi to monitor the performance of Treaty of Waitangi obligations
- to assist in allocating resources and funds to Iwi
- to assist Iwi in planning social and economic developments
- to assist Waitangi Tribunal decisions on land ownership, fishing rights, etc
- to assist central, regional and local government agencies planning and providing services to Iwi in areas such as housing, health, social welfare and special assistance programmes
- to assist local government in the administration of the Resource Management Act 1991.
Classification of Iwi
Iwi is a hierarchical classification with two levels.
Level 1 represents Iwi region (rohe) and is to be used for summary purposes only, and does not imply any future or present confederation of Iwi. Level 2 shows individual Iwi.
Level 1 has 14 categories and level 2 has 128 categories – excluding residual categories. The residual categories are defined in Glossary and references.
This classification is part of a review examining the need for broader classifications and wider groupings.
