This practice note has been issued as a guide to assist landowners, lawyers and the banking sector with lending and borrowing against Māori freehold land.
We were hon-

and Te Waipounamu, for the people of the land
and for all of us who work for Māori landowners.

Between 1846 and 1848, there were eight or nine cultivations and three pā according
to Heaphy’s Field Book. By 1861, Tāmati Pirimona Marino was still the principal
