  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.

  If you are a whānau or hapū member who did not submit the application but would like to speak in Court, you can file a ‘ Notice of intention to appear upon application ’. This lets us know how many people are planning to speak, although the final decision on who can speak will always be up to the judge.
