Updated interim list of owners of the Toitoi SILNA Block Crown Land Block VIII Lords
River Survey District (South Island Landless Natives Act 1906)
The Māori Land Court has released an updated working list of potential owners entitled to
the Toitoi Land (Crown Land Block VIII Lords River Survey District) under Section 15 of
Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement 1997.
The South
Island Landless Natives Act 1906 was repealed in 1909 without those 53 people having

The working list of potential owners was updated at a sitting of the Māori Land Court in Te
Waipounamu on 9 September 2021.
