Ōkahu Bay
Ōkahu Bay is a bay along Tāmaki Drive, Auckland, New Zealand. It is the ancestral land of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei and owned by Ngāti Whatua and co-managed by the Auckland Council.
Naming
The name Okahu Bay comes from the Māori Ōkahu, meaning "the dwelling place of Kahumatamomoe".
History
Ōkahu Bay is part of the Ōrākei ancestral land of Ngāti Whātua. In 1869 a Native Land Court Declaration alienated the land from all but thirteen owners, effectively stripping Ngāti Whātua of the land.
