Having a conversation with your whānau about your whenua and whakapapa can be helpful before getting started. It is a good idea to ask them about:
What land blocks you might be an owner in
An accurate record of your whakapapa
How you became an owner or beneficiary to your whenua.
Being prepared to consider the other
party’s views will increase your ability to reach a resolution.
What does whakapapa mean to me?
What do I know? What do I feel?
