This brought the Māori Land Court record into the computer age with details of Māori land blocks and their owners being accessible nationwide, without owners having to travel to the Māori Land Court where the land was located to get information.
These were to be created where land of iwi and hapū could be held collectively without individual shareholding within that kin group.
Many urupā are traditional burial grounds, and are the places where whānau and hapū members expect to be buried when their time comes.
When land is amalgamated, the blocks of land are merged, the former titles are cancelled and a single combined ownership list is issued.

So, my advice is to follow your passion. You never know where it will take you.
