Note on 'Family' Type for Hapū and Iwi
We hope to accurately provide hapū and iwi affiliations with as many uri (descendants) and tipuna (antecedants) as possible. The Family type has been used as it is the best available method to describe these relationships. The Family category does not describe these relationships fully, and is not intended to do so.
