A key feature of the proceedings was the duties of trustees under tikanga. The treatment of this approach allowed tikanga to speak in its own context and not to be exclusively defined by a western legal construct.
Fifth The project has also highlighted the need for the Māori Land Court to be more proactive in its identification and review of defunct trusts and incorporations due to circumstances such as the death of key trustee or management committee members. It is rarely the case that the Māori Land Court judges do not appoint people into these positions where selected by owners.

Ngā mahi a ngā tiaki whenua
Kei te herea ngā tiaki whenua ki te ’ture’ arā
ki te ture Trustee Act 1956.
Ko ā rātou tino mahi, he whakanui ake i
ngā taonga pūtea, me te whakaiti iho i ngā
herenga utu o te tiaki whenua.
Ka tuhia te tono ki roto ki ngā rīkoata o te
kooti mēnā e pā ana ki te whenua, ā, ka
tonoa ki te tangata, ki te rōpū rānei kia
mahia ngā mahi o te tono, pēnei i te kaitiaki
rawa o te Māori, arā Māori trustee, kia
utua ngā moni kei te puritia e ia, ā, me te
kaporeihana Māori mēnā e pā atu ana ki ngā
hea o te kaporeihana.
Ko te nuinga o ngā tāpaetanga
moni ka whakatauhia kia mutu mēnā ka moe
anō te pouaru.
19 Te whakapapa, kāwai heke, e hono ai taua
tangata ki te whānau, tipuna rānei.
20 He kaitiaki – trustee or guardian.
21 He tamaiti whāngai Māori, ānō nei he
tamaiti whānau tonu, engari kāore i
whakamanahia te whāngai i rō kooti.
22 Ko ngā kaiwhiwhi rawa mai i te trust.
