Māori Land Law refers to the legal framework governing land ownership and use for the Māori people of New Zealand. It is based on the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) and aims to recognize and protect the unique relationship that Māori have with their land. This law includes various statutes and regulations that address issues such as land title, management, and development. The Māori Land Court plays a crucial role in this legal system, providing a forum for resolving disputes and facilitating the administration of Māori land. The court helps ensure that land is used in ways that benefit Māori communities while respecting their cultural values and traditions.
