The Lords River, officially Lords River / Tūtaekawetoweto,[1] is a river on Stewart Island, New Zealand. It is called Tutae Ka Wetoweto (sometimes Tutae-Ka-Wetoweto) in Māori. Named Port South East by Owen Smith when he first charted the island in 1804, the river was later renamed Lords River by John Grono in 1809.[2][better source needed]
