Judge Te Kani Williams analyses how New Zealand's laws protect indigenous cultural heritage and customary rights, and poses the question - are they adequate?
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.
In your application you’ll need to provide:

Access to Māori land was generally considered when the title of the land was originally issued and in many cases:
a roadway would have been created to give access to the land
there may have already been a public or private roadway servicing the land, or
a right of way to access land, across a neighbouring property, may have been put in place.
At this point in te pā whenua, landowners are now ready to take their next step. That may be submitting another type of application or getting in contact with other agencies or organisations who can assist you with the next chapter of your journey.
Importantly, it also tells the story of the modern Māori Land Court, who we are, what we do, and what motivates us to provide a high level of service to Māori landowners.
