HĀWEA/WĀNAKA SUBSTITUTE SILNA LAND
WORKING LIST OF POTENTIAL OWNERS AS AT 23 MAY 2025
The Māori Land Court has released an updated working list of potential owners entitled to
the Hāwea/Wānaka Substitute Land (Section 2 of 5 Block XIV Lower Wānaka Survey
District) under Section 15 of the 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Island Landless Natives Act 1906 was repealed in 1909 without those 53 people having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.
To my Māori language, it is because of you I was able to experience the many initiatives that I now hold close to my heart, those being Te Taumata, Te Kura Reo o Whirinaki, the many Kura Reo that are held throughout the land, Te Tohu Paerua o te Reo Kairangi.
