NGĀ KAPOREIHANA MĀORI TE TURE WHENUA MĀORI ACT 1993
MĀORI INCORPORATIONS
TE TURE WHENUA MĀORI ACT 1993
The Māori Land Court (Te Kooti Whenua
Māori) is the New Zealand court that hears
matters relating to Māori land.
In 1881 Major William Mair reported
that the task of compiling the census of the
Māori population was made even more difficult
than usual because so many people were on
the road to Cambridge to attend Court sittings.
When the Crown’s claim to the Patetere block
was about to be heard in 1881, the Waikato Times
reported that over a thousand people would be
attending.
