Maori Tribal Allegiance has persisted in European times, with membership of
both tribe and hapu being determined by the individual's parentage and links
to an ancestor regarded as having founded the tribe. Although there has been
a dispersal of tribal members over the years, and particularly since World
War Two, the tribal areas, as listed by Joan Metge in "The Maoris of New
Zealand" are:
