From its beginnings
as a mechanism that enabled the acquisition by
Pākehā of huge tracts of Māori land, the Court
has continued to evolve to the present day when
it enables and assists with the retention and
utilisation of Māori land by its owners, whānau
and hapū.
The Māori Land Court has been here for 150 years
and if Māori have their way, it is here to stay.
