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The South Island Landless Natives Act 1906 was repealed in 1909 without those 53 people having received their SILNA land. The working list of potential owners was updated at a sitting of the Māori Land Court in Te Waipounamu on 9 September 2021.
Two types of Māori land are defined - Māori freehold land and Māori customary land.
The Act now clarifies that Māori Land Court judges will follow the tikanga of the hapū or iwi associated with the land being succeeded to when deciding whether whāngai can succeed to a land interest.

Some people become landowners when a whānau member transfers land to them by gift or sale. The Maori Land Court will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order.
That Court then ordered the Māori Land Court to conduct a hearing to appoint replacement trustees.
That provides a great deal of protection because the land cannot be sold or gifted away. Nor can the land be taken by way of an agreement under the Public Works Act 1981.
