Two types of Māori land are defined - Māori freehold land and Māori customary land.
Whenua Māori held by a Māori land trust 3. Where the title to the land is vested in a Māori land trust (e.g. an Ahu Whenua Trust or a Whānau Trust) the trustees can approve a mortgage against the land subject to any restrictions in the trust order (ss 147 and 150A of the Act)
Following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, the Crown negotiated several largescale purchases of land in Te Waipounamu (the South Island) whereby almost the entire land base of Ngāi Tahu, some 34.5 million acres of land, was sold for £14,750. 1 Ngāi Tahu’s landlessness was the subject of several Crown investigations in the mid-to-late nineteenth century.
As a result, from time to time the Māori Land Court receives applications to extend existing urupā, or to set aside Māori freehold land, or sometimes General land owned by Māori, as new urupā reservations.
