By creating a free, culturally appropriate and safe process
outside of a court sitting, landowners and other Court users
can kōrero and wānanga about the dispute privately and
come up with their own workable solutions.

development of Māori land as a taonga tuku iho by Māori landowners, their whanau and
hapu, and their descendants.
