You never rolled your eyes at my requests for help, you continued to listen, you continued to provide advice, you continued to offer words of encouragement and wisdom, and here we are, enjoying the fruits of your labour and the endless and all-embracing support you have shown me, with the knowledge that success is not the work of an individual but work of the many.
If you see any of your tīpuna listed below and know of their whakapapa lines, we would love to hear from you. For more information about The South Island Landless Natives Act (SILNA) and the work of Te Kooti Whenua Māori and updating the lists of potential owners for the four remaining SILNA Blocks Hāwea-Wanaka, Whakapoai, Port Adventure and Toitoi, please see our SILNA page.
Developed by judges for judges and published by Te Kura Kaiwhakawā (Institute of Judicial Studies), the bench book offers guidance on what judges may need to know, understand, and do when hearing applications in the Māori Land Court (the Court).
The applicant filed the application to seek solutions to prevent the sale by Council and to secure the
future of the land for Mary’s whānau. At a hearing in Waitara on 12 June 2025, the descendants
present agreed to consider setting the land aside as a Māori Reservation as the first step to gain
administration of the whenua by Mary’s whānau.
