It was a reciprocation of both
positive and negative deeds from one person to another. Utu was a means of seeking, maintaining and
restoring harmony and balance in Māori society and relationships.
Before
1862, the government had bought large areas of
land from Māori by deeds of purchase, and by
this means about two-thirds of the country had
passed into the hands of the government before
the Native Land Court was established.
Governance entities In the context in which I work, we have a range of governance entities, from trusts to incorporations, but no matter what the governance structure is - whether it is an ahu whenua trust, a whānau trust, a whenua tōpū trust, a pūtea trust, a kaitiaki trust, or an incorporation - key governance skills and capabilities are required.

Transferring Māori Land Shares is one of a
series of Māori Land Court booklets designed
to help Māori – and anyone else with an
interest – to gain a fuller understanding
of current Māori land matters. It is a
comprehensive guide to transferring
Māori land shares by a vesting order:
• when the ownership of a Māori land block
is held in shares by a group of owners
• when a land block is vested in a Māori
incorporation.
