Kei roto te whenua i te tuakiri o te tangata whenua. Koinei te tūrangawaewae.
Whatungarongaro te tangata toitū te whenua As people disappear from sight, the land remains
I mua i te taenga mai o tauiwi ki Aotearoa, ko tā te tangata whenua he tiaki i te whenua, arā ko ngā hapū me ngā whānau ngā kaitiaki. I rerekē te āhua o te tiaki me te noho a te Māori i runga i te whenua i te urunga mai o ngā ture kia riro ai he whenua i a tauiwi.
Nā aua ture, ka riro i te tangata whenua te puritanga whenua o ngā wāhanga whenua tauwhāiti, ‘ngā pānga’ rānei o taua whenua. I rerekē ngā rohenga whenua tūturu o ngā hapū me ngā whānau, ā, ehara i te mea i whakawhiwhia he whenua ki te katoa. Nā te riro o te whenua i te tangata kotahi i māmā ai mō tauiwi ki te hokohoko whenua. Engari, he tino taupatupatu tēnei ki ngā tikanga tuku iho o te noho i te whenua me te kaitiakitanga mō te tangata whenua.
I te tau 1993, i whakaurua mai Te Ture Whenua Māori, ā, ko tōna kaupapa he aukati i te riro tonu o te whenua Māori – he tata ki te 6% o ngā whenua katoa i Aotearoa.
I tēnei rā, he maha tonu ngā kaipupuri whenua Māori kei te noho tonu hei kaitiaki takitini mō ō rātau whenua, te tiaki i ō rātau whenua hei taonga tuku iho.
Ko ā mātou mahi a Te Kooti Whenua Māori he takawaenga me te hāpai kia mau tonu, te whakahaere me te whakamahi i te whenua Māori, me te tautoko i ngā whānau ki te noho, te whakawhanake me te whakamahi i ō rātou whenua.
