Our Māori Land Update is released annually and provides:
the number of customary and freehold titles of Māori land
the number and types of management structures and the size of the land they are responsible for managing.
In his classic book Māori Land Tenure
(1977) Sir Hugh Kawharu wrote that the system
of Māori land tenure created by the Native Lands
Act of 1865 was an ‘engine of destruction for
any tribe’s tenure of land, anywhere’ (p 15).
As the saying goes, many hands make light work and those hands ensure preparations for an occasion of this nature and this size are successful, and consequently there are many people that assisted with the arrangements for this occasion to ensure we arrived at this day.
