Pātaka Whenua he mea panoni whakaaro, engari
anō, he tauwhiro taumaha tonu, ina koa mō te

Search by landowner
You can search for whenua that you have an interest in to learn more about the whakapapa of the whenua and the whānau. You can find information on:
the current list of landowners of the block
when a person became a landowner, who they inherited whenua interests from and the type of land ownership they have
the previous landowners and line of succession, or whakapapa of the whenua.
Where the title to the land is vested in a Māori land trust (e.g. an Ahu Whenua Trust or a
Whānau Trust) the trustees can approve a mortgage against the land subject to any
restrictions in the trust order (ss 147 and 150A of the Act)
