Find out about the Māori Land Court and get information about the Waitangi Tribunal and Treaty of Waitangi claims and settlements.
The Māori Land Court is a judicial forum where people who own or have an interest in Māori land can interact about the current and future use, ownership, occupation and/or management of Māori land.
The Waitangi Tribunal makes recommendations on claims brought by Māori relating to Crown actions which breach the promises made in the Treaty of Waitangi.
