Ngati Awa is a confederation of 22 hapu at present. This number is made up of Whakatane based hapu, namely Ngati Awa-ki-tai; inland hapu around Te Teko, Ngati Awa-ki-uta; Matata based hapu, Ngati Awa ki Te Awa-a-te-Atua; and two urban based hapu, Ngati Awa-ki-Tamaki at Auckland and Ngati Awa-ki-Poneke at Wellington. According to the 1996 Census we number approximately 11,000 and expect to register over 12,000 members by the new millennium.
