For those listening who don't know—and, sadly, there will be many because our mainstream education system has mainly taught us only colonial districts and cities and town names, and not the nation States of hapū and iwi—the iwi rohe of Ngāti Maru stretches from the eastern side of Mount Taranaki to the source of the Waitara River, across the Heao Stream and down to the Whanganui River, and back across the Matemateaonga Ranges to Stratford. This is the nation of Ngāti Maru.
