The use of a resource, therefore, required permission from the
associated deity. In this order, all things were seen to come from the
gods and the ancestors as recorded in whakapapa.
The “exceptional initiatives” (as I term them) that do require Court orders are sales,
long-term leases, change of status, title reconstruction and improvement, and
occupationorders.
The judge or registrar may issue an order giving the whāngai child the right to occupy a family home on the land, or to receive all or part of any income from the land interest, or both.

Unlocking finance is an important part of facilitating the occupation, development, and utilisation of whenua Māori for the benefit of owners, their whānau, and their hapū and this practice note is another step on the road to realising this vision.
However, it was in major conflict with the traditional ways of land occupation and guardianship for tangata whenua. In 1993, the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act was introduced with the purpose of preventing the loss of any more Māori land – which currently makes up approximately 6% of all land in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, our role is to:
promote the retention of Māori land in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū
facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māori land
ensure that decisions made about Māori land are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
