Māori landowners to have over 3000 hectares returned to them
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Māori landowners at the top of the South Island will have more than 3-thousand hectares returned to them in a landmark agreement signed with the Crown. The customary landowners were promised one tenth of the 61,000 hectares sold in a deal with the New Zealand Company in the 1830s, but instead got less than 1200. In 2017, the Supreme Court ruled that the government must honour the deal, but subsequent efforts to resolve the case outside court were unsuccessful. Samantha Gee has more.
