In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
This action takes manuhiri from the state of sacredness to ordinary and is an expression of the hospitality and generosity of the hau kainga. At this point in te pā whenua, landowners are now ready to take their next step.
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.
To my Māori language, it is because of you I was able to experience the many initiatives that I now hold close to my heart, those being Te Taumata, Te Kura Reo o Whirinaki, the many Kura Reo that are held throughout the land, Te Tohu Paerua ote Reo Kairangi.
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.
