Since the establishment of the Native land Court 1865, we have collected and managed over 23 million documents, all of which are linked in some way to whenua and whānau Māori. Our record holds information about court decisions, and the conversations about how those decisions are made.
Chief Judge Fox is a descendent of Ngāti Porou and Rongowhakaata, with ties to Te Whānau a Apanui. She is the fifth judge to be appointed as Chairperson of the Waitangi Tribunal, following Chief Judge Kenneth Gillanders Scott, Tā Justice Taihakurei Durie, Tā Justice Joe Williams and Chief Judge Wilson Isaac.
Ko Kaiwhakawā Matua Fox (nō Ngāti Porou, Rongowhakaata, Te Whānau ā Apanui),
te Kaiwhakawā Matua tekau mā whitu o Te Kooti Whenua Māori, ā, ko ia hoki te
wahine tuatahi ki te whiwhi i tēnei tūranga.
Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, our role is to:
promote the retention of Māori land in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū
facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māori land
ensure that decisions made about Māori land are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
