The Boyd massacre occurred in December 1809 when Māori residents of Whangaroa Harbour in northern New Zealand killed between 66 and 70 European crew of the Boyd. Cannibalism was described or alluded to in contemporary reports. This is reputedly the highest number of Europeans killed by Māori in a single event in New Zealand.

Māori mythology and Māori traditions are two major categories into which the remote oral history of New Zealand's Māori may be divided. Māori myths concern fantastic tales relating to the origins of what was the observable world for the pre-European Māori, often involving gods and demigods.

Both categories merge in whakapapa to explain the overall origin of the Māori and their connections to the world which they lived in.

It is one of five tribes of the Marutūāhu confederation, the others being Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Paoa, Ngāti Rongoū and Ngāti Whanaunga.
