I am Maori. How can I find out my Tribal Affiliations/Iwi?
Some Maori children are adopted by a member of their own family. If this is your situation, a family member should be able to give you this information. If you were not adopted by a member of your family, it may not be easy to find out this information. If you can find a birth parent, he or she should be able to tell you. If not, try to find out your parents' last names or where your parents came from or where you were born.
These things are helpful because they might narrow down the search. The Department for Child, Youth and Family Services will have the names of your parents and your place of birth in their records, but if your birth parents have said that they don't want to be identified, it is unlikely that they will give it to you unless you come up with a very convincing reason.
