The Waihou River is located in the northern North Island of New Zealand.

A 1947 Geographic Board enquiry ruled that the official name would be Waihou.

Māori are the indigenous Polynesian people of mainland New Zealand. Māori originated with settlers from East Polynesia,who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of canoe voyages between roughly 1320 and 1350. Over several centuries in isolation,these settlers developed their own distinctive culture,whose language,mythology,crafts,and performing arts evolved independently from those of other eastern Polynesian cultures. Some early Māori moved to the Chatham Islands,where their descendants became New Zealand's other indigenous Polynesian ethnic group,the Moriori.
