7 In broad terms, land that is not Māori land
In the English version, Māori are said to have ceded
the sovereignty of New Zealand to Britain; Māori give the Crown an exclusive right to buy lands they
wish to sell, and, in return, are guaranteed full rights of ownership of their lands, forests, fisheries and
other possessions; and Māori are given the rights and privileges of British subjects.
The scope of the review focuses on four key areas:
• Ownership: Māori land owners are affiliated and engaged with the land;
• Governance: there are appropriate structures and trustees with expertise to
support effective decision-making;
• Access to resources: resources are available to enact decisions; and
• Utilisation: the better utilisation of Māori land is enabled.
