The Māori people of New Zealand use the word rohe to describe the territory or boundaries of tribes ( iwi ), [1] although some divide their rohe into several takiwā. [2]

The term rohe also combines with other words to form more modern terms. These include rohe pōti, meaning an electoral district or constituency, rohe, meaning time zone, and whatunga rohe paetata, meaning a local area network. The term rohe on its own has also been adopted to mean an internet domain. The term rohe mihana is used for the mission districts of Te Pīhopatanga o Aotearoa, the Māori Anglican Church in New Zealand.
