land gives the lessee a limited right tooccupyland in return for payment of rent
(and other conditions); mortgaging land gives the mortgagee the right to sell the
land if the mortgage is not repaid (refer to section 4 of Te Ture Whenua Māori
Act 1993).

It is tūrangawaewae – the place where we come from, the place we belong to, the place we stand. Our key purpose is to promote the retention of Māori land in Māori hands, and to support landowners to use, occupy and develop their whenua for the benefit of all landowners, and their whānau and hapū.
Our role as Te Kooti Whenua Māori is to facilitate and promote the retention and use of Māori land, and support whānau tooccupy, develop and use their whenua.
If an owner with Māori land interests is deceased, and probate, letters of administration or an election to administer
the estate have been granted by High Court, or is to be obtained, you can use this form to seek a determination from
the Court as to those persons entitled to a deceased’s Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to
those entitled.
The judge or registrar may issue an order giving the whāngai child the right tooccupy a family home on the land, or to receive all or part of any income from the land interest, or both.
When we reflect on what
kāinga means to te iwi Māori, we instantly think
about our connections to the land, to Papatūānuku
and, of course, about the mahi we collectively
advance to ensure we are looking after her, our
land, our homes.
