Otuataua

Local nameŌtuataua
LocationAuckland, New Zealand

Ihumātao is a location situated three kilometres from Auckland International Airport in Mangere, Auckland in New Zealand. A Māori village once existed there.

The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "cold nose" for Ihumātao. Māori first settled in the area as early as the 14th century CE. During the Invasion of the Waikato in 1863, the local Māori had their land confiscated by the New Zealand Government as punishment for supporting the Kingitanga movement. The land was largely used for farming until late 2016 when Fletcher Building acquired the site as part of a housing-development project.
