Tuhoe (pronounced "too-hoy") is a Māori tribe of New Zealand.
*

Although the word Tuhoe literally means "steep" or "high noon" in the Māori language, the tribe is named after one of its ancestors, Tuhoe-potiki.
*

Tuhoe are referred to as Nga Tamariki o te Kohu, or the "Children of the Mist".
*

Tuhoe have a reputation for their continued strong adherence to Māori identity and unbroken use of the Māori language, which 40% of them still speak.
*

Of the approximately 30,000 Tūhoe people, 5,000 of them live in the tribal homelands; most of the rest live in towns on the fringes of Te Urewera and in the larger North Island cities.
*

Tūhoe continue to maintain camps in Te Urewera and help run conservation programmes for endangered birds such as the kiwi and the kokako.
*

Most Tūhoe return to their homelands every two years for the Tūhoe Festival, which features kapa haka, debates, sports competitions, and fashion shows. The event provides an important opportunity to maintain ties between friends and relatives.
