I am very conscious from personal experience of the potential difficulties in forming a whānau trust. I have experienced those difficulties notwithstanding the fact that I was a practising lawyer and familiar with the workings of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act.
It is likely the land was part of the Nelson Tenths.10 6 Concise history of Aorere, “Ngā Hekenga O Te Atiawa,” p221 citing The Nelson Examiner, and New Zealand Chronicle, 17 January 1846, p182. 7 49 Te Waipounamu MB 170-187 (49 TWP 170-187) at 177. 8 Tāmati Pirimona Marino (theprow.org.nz).
There have, of course, been numerous ahu whenua trust orders with composite whānau trust-administered areas created since Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 gave statutory recognition to shareholdings within blocks according to discrete whakapapa groups.
Many landowner journeys begin when a whānau member passes away and their land interests or shares in an incorporation are transferred to their whānau members.
There are many ways Māori connect with and utilise whenua, depending on the economic, social, and cultural aspirations of the whānau for the whenua. The Māori Land Court, alongside our partner agencies, are here to support you and your whānau throughout your whenua journey.
