In his classic book Māori Land Tenure
(1977) Sir Hugh Kawharu wrote that the system
of Māori land tenure created by the Native Lands
Act of 1865 was an ‘engine of destruction for
any tribe’s tenure of land, anywhere’ (p 15). In
her book The Treaty of Waitangi (1987), Claudia
Orange argued that the Native Lands Act
1865 ‘effectively severed the threads of Crown
protection and nullified the treaty’s second
article’ (p 179).
