Trustee responsibilities can include:
researching options for the whenua on behalf of owners
attending regular trustee meetings to discuss and debate plans for the trust
communicating with owners and organising hui for owners or trustees to discuss plans for the whenua
visiting the whenua regularly to check on the wellbeing of the land, and
working with people involved in the whenua or trust, such as a lessee, accountant, or management team.
The unique relationship between Māori and whenua is
recognised by the MLC, and the records held by the Court
form an invaluable part of the whakapapa of all Māori people.
The Māori Land Court is very aware of the importance of this work to the completion of Ngāi Tahu’s settlement and is working hard with dedicated resources to make further progress as quickly as possible while also ensuring care is taken in dealing with the whakapapa.

2.2 The function and purp...
Pātaka Whenua is the name of the technology
and it accurately describes its purpose as a storage
house; for the record, for landowner stories and
for whakapapa which recount the tenuous and
often tumultuous journey that Māori have had
with their whenua and whānau.
In May 2023 we launched a redesigned web-
site and a new online portal – Pātaka Whenua.
The introduction of the Pātaka Whenua
technology was part of a wider Whenua Māori
Programme of change which also included
implementing legislative change and intro-
ducing new ways of working.
