can confirm again. look at the concept of the kngitanga. ngati parole (paroe, it fittingly autocorrected that way) were the main ones and then tainui were the ones to mimic feudilism funnily enough. funnier still, is that all of the maori elite are all tertiary educated, at european institutions; none are trained in maori matauranaga (maori education system - basically tribal/paganism beliefs).
