Ko ngā mahi matua o
tēnei tūranga mahi, ko te whakahaere tonu i ngā
whakatūturutanga o ngā mōhiohio raraunga me ngā
mōhiohio pakihi, ko te tiaki i te putunga, waihoki,
ko te manaaki i ngā tuhinga katoa ki te pūkete
Kooti, tae atu ki ngā taitara whenua, ngā ōta o ngā
Kooti, ngā rikoatatanga pepa e tūturu ana me ētahi
atu mōhiohio hītoria mō te hirahiratanga ā-pakihi,
ā-ahurea anō hoki.
Today, many Māori landowners continue to act as collective kaitiaki of their whenua, to honour and protect their land as taonga-tuku-iho. Our role as Te Kooti Whenua Māori is to facilitate and promote the retention and use of Māori land, and support whānau to occupy, develop and use their whenua.
“Pātaka Whenua also enables a connectedness that has not existed before – whānau living in across the ditch and further afield will have the same access to the court record, a taonga tuku iho, as those who are able to visit us in person today.”
E tū ana i ia

ngā kawe mate, ngā mihimihi, ngā kōrerorero,
ngā kai, ngā kapa haka me ngā hākinakina.
