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).
• Whānautrust
This is a whānau-oriented trust. It allows the whānau to
bring together their Māori land interests for the benefit
of the whānau and their descendants

What the Māori Freehold Land Registration Project has done has been to provide an invaluable updated base of knowledge for a new generation of policy makers keen to review and improve the manner in which owners, their whanau or hapu hold title.
Support was given for the formation of a whānautrust. An application to constitute a whānautrust was filed in 2004 and eventually heard in February of 2005.
With the focus of the recent review on increased productivity of land, let’s not forget the many trusts and incorporations that already do a great job and are success stories that have been celebrated this weekend.
With shares held by individuals becoming increasingly fractionated but shares held in whānautrusts being relatively stable, I foresee a time when these whānautrusts will be major shareholders in trusts and incorporations.
