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.
