The Māori Land Court is New Zealand’s oldest and longest established specialist court. We are a unique institution - the only indigenous land court in the world.
The court record holds information about current and historic ownership of Māori land, including block and trust information, minutes, and orders.
We hold court sittings, paneke, outreach hui, and trustee training sessions, both kanohi ki te kanohi and online.
Nau mai, haere mai. You can contact us through our new online portal, Pātaka Whenua, or by phone, email, or post.
