Native Island is off the east coast of Halfmoon Bay, Stewart Island, New Zealand. It is north east of Ulva Island in the northern mouth of Paterson Inlet.[2] It is separated from Stewart Island by a narrow channel 50 metres (160 ft) in width. There has been evidence of small and temporary past Māori settlements on the island.[3][4] Multiple Māori relics have been found, including bone fish hooks, axes, and chisels.[3] Native Island is part of the Ulva Island-Te Wharawhara Marine Reserve, which is on the south part of Native Island.[5]
