Māori Land

Māori land refers to land in New Zealand that is owned by Māori, the indigenous people of the country. It encompasses a variety of land types, including customary land that has been passed down through generations, and land held under specific legal frameworks, like the Māori Land Court. Māori land can have unique legal status and usage restrictions, often reflecting cultural values and traditions. The management and use of this land are important for preserving Māori identity, culture, and economic development, promoting greater self-determination and community well-being within Māori communities.
