To date, the Court has determined the successors of 125 original owners and are now seeking whakapapa information for the remaining owners from around 1895 who have not yet been succeeded to.
Rapu mā te kaipupuri whenua
Search by landowner
You can search for whenua that you have an interest in to learn more about the whakapapa of the whenua and the whānau. You can find information on:
the current list of landowners of the block
when a person became a landowner, who they inherited whenua interests from and the type of land ownership they have
the previous landowners and line of succession, or whakapapa of the whenua.
The unique relationship between Māori and whenua is
recognised by the MLC and the records held by the Court
form an invaluable part of the whakapapa of all Māori people.
The MLC operates under the provisions of Te Ture Whenua
Māori Act 1993 (‘the Act’).
Having a conversation with your whānau about your whenua and whakapapa can be helpful before getting started. It is a good idea to ask them about:
What land blocks you might be an owner in
An accurate record of your whakapapa
How you became an owner or beneficiary to your whenua.

Being prepared to consider the other
party’s views will increase your ability to reach a resolution.
