Ko Kaiwhakawā Matua Fox (nō Ngāti Porou, Rongowhakaata, Te Whānau ā Apanui), te Kaiwhakawā Matua tekau mā whitu o Te Kooti Whenua Māori, ā, ko ia hoki te wahine tuatahi ki te whiwhi i tēnei tūranga.
Information, resources and links have been arranged to make it easier for you to find as you begin or continue your whenua and whānau journey. The website is also the gateway to our online portal Pātaka Whenua.
Since the passing of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, our role is to: promote the retention of Māori land in the hands of its owners, whānau and hapū facilitate the occupation, development and use of Māori land ensure that decisions made about Māori land are fair and balanced taking into account the needs of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
“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.”
Chief Judge Fox is a descendent of Ngāti Porou and Rongowhakaata, with ties to Te Whānau a Apanui. She is the fifth judge to be appointed as Chairperson of the Waitangi Tribunal, following Chief Judge Kenneth Gillanders Scott, Tā Justice Taihakurei Durie, Tā Justice Joe Williams and Chief Judge Wilson Isaac.
Ka taea tēnei mēnā he whānau kotahi ngā kaipupuri (ākene pea ka hiahia te whānau ki te hanga pāmu mahi moni).

It’s not about the backlog, rather it’s the impact that the delays have had on Māori land owners, their whanau and their hapū, as ultimately justice delayed is justice denied.
