Updated interim list of owners of the Toitoi SILNA Block Crown Land Block VIII Lords River Survey District (South Island Landless Natives Act 1906) The Māori Land Court has released an updated working list of potential owners entitled to the Toitoi Land (Crown Land Block VIII Lords River Survey District) under Section 15 of Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement 1997.
The South Island Landless Natives Act 1906 was repealed in 1909 without those 53 people having received their SILNA land. The working list of potential owners was updated at a sitting of the Māori Land Court in Te Waipounamu on 9 September 2021.
In accordance with tikanga Māori there is no distinction to be drawn between whenua (land) that is dry and land that is covered by the sea.
