Ko te tikanga o tēnei
wāhanga o te ture, he whakamana i te Kooti
Whenua Māori hei kaiwhakahaere mō ngā
whenua o ngā kaipupuri Māori, e āhei ai te
whakapaipai, te hiki ake i te wāriu, me te
whakahou ake i te taitara, mō te painga o
te katoa.
When one adds to the mix the underlying principles of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 – namely of land retention and land utilisation, in effect two competing principles – then the challenges facing Māori landowners and the Māori Land Court can be quite difficult.
