Māori reservation land
Any Māori freehold land or any general land 1
may be set aside as a Māori reservation.
The introduction of Pātaka Whenua marked
the closing of MLIS (Māori Land Information
System), the previous Māori Land Court technol-
ogy system, which has served the court and land-
owners/users since 1999.
Freehold titles are often
divided by partition order. The land retains
the status of Māori land. The status of the
land will continue to be Māori land unless
and until the Māori Land Court makes an
order changing the status of the land.
2 Literally, a “basket”.
