Succession to Māori land interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māori land is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).

Within te ao Māori, rangatiratanga can embody the authority of a rangatira (a Chief) but importantly also
that of the people, being the whānau (family), hapū (sub-tribe) and iwi (tribe).
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.

Māori land matters are whānau matters. You can bring whānau with you to court to support you and your application.
