Accessing Pātaka Whenua
Step 1
In your web browser, visit the Māori Land Court website www.māorilandcourt.govt.nz and click
the green tab in the top right area labelled“Pātaka Whenua – our online portal”.
Most of the land set aside under the Act was transferred to the intended beneficiaries, but in 1909 the SILNA Act was repealed by the Native Lands Act before all the grants had been completed. 6 Also, the lands set aside under SILNA were of inferior quality, isolated, inaccessible, and often far distant from the traditional lands that had been taken under the earlier Crown purchasing. 7 Four of the SILNA blocks were not allocated and remain in Crown ownership
