In April 2025, Claire Stirling-Hawkins (Te
Whānau-ā-Apanui, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Kauwhata,
Ngāti Raukawa ki Te Tonga, Ngāi Tahu me Kāti
Mamoe), supported by her whānau, friends, and
kaimahi from Te Rāwhiti, stepped into the Pae
Ārahi o Te Rito role, bringing her leadership
strengths and a shared purpose and vision for Te
Rito to the District.
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.
