While the Court minutes will record the
formal proceedings of the Court, the ancillary information in the individual adoption records
provides important contextual information including whakapapa. Succession to Māori land is
intimately tied up with identity and whakapapa and thus adoption records may be essential to an
application for succession.
The special
bond between Māori people and the land is
recognised by the Māori Land Court, and the
records held by this Court form an invaluable
part of the whakapapa of all Māori. The Māori
Land Court operates under the provisions of
Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 (referred
to as ‘the Act’ throughout this booklet).
The unique relationship between Māori and whenua is
recognised by the MLC, and the records held by the Court
form an invaluable part of the whakapapa of all Māori
people. The MLC operates under the provisions of Te Ture
Whenua Māori Act 1993.
