I pāhitia te South Island Landless Natives Act (SILNA) i te tau 1906, ā, i whakamanatia te whakawhititanga o ngā whenua ki te Māori. E whā ngā poraka SILNA, kāore anō kia whakawhitia a Hāwea-Wānaka, Whakapoai, Port Adventure me Toitoi.
Hītori
Whai muri i te waitohutanga o te Tiriti o Waitangi i te tau 1840, i whakariterite te Karauna ki te hoko mai i ngā whenua nunui 10 mai i a Ngāi Tahu, ā, he 345,000 eka te nui o te whenua, me kī ko te katoa o ngā whenua o te iwi, i hokona atu mō te £14,750. I kī taurangi ngā āpiha hoko whenua a te Karauna ka nui tonu ‘ngā whenua rāhui’ ka toe mai ki a Ngāi Tahu hei noho.
Engari kāore i pērā, ā, kāore i mahue mai he whenua ki ngā Māori o Te Waipounamu, ā, he iti noa iho ā rātou rawa hei tiaki i a rātou me ō rātou whānau.
Mai i te 1879 me te 1887, he maha ngā tūhuratanga i whakahaerehia hei tūhura i ngā nawe i ara ake i taua kī taurangi i takahia.
I pāhitia te Landless Natives Act (SILNA) 1906, ā, ka whakamanatia te whakawhititanga o ngā whenua ki ngā Māori o Te Waipounamu kia noho pakari ai tō rātou ao ōhanga.
I taua wā, i kī a Ngāi Tahu ka rawaka te 200,000 eka whenua hei kapeneheihana mō te whenua i riro, ā, kāore i tutuki te kī taurangi.
He 57,000 heketea te whenua i wehea mai.
Ko ngā whenua i tukua he whenua ururua me te ngahere i ngā wāhi tuawhenua, ā, ehara ēnei i te whenua tuku iho o ngā iwi o Te Waipounamu. Nā te āhua me te nui o ngā poraka kāore i taea te whakamahi kia puta ai he oranga, he moni whiwhi rānei.
Ko te nuinga o ngā whenua i wehea mai i whakawhitia ki ngā kaipānga ko te uru me te rāwhiti o Murihiku, Rakiura, Te Tai Poutini me Te Tau Ihu. E whā ngā poraka kāore anō kia whakawhitia ko Hāwea-Wānaka, Whakapoai, Port Adventure me Toitoi.
I whakaritea anō ēnei whenua i roto i te Ture Whakatau Kerēme a Ngāi Tahu 1998. Ko ngā whakaaetanga i tukuna i roto i te Whakataunga Take Raupatu a Ngāi Tahu i whakaturehia kia taea te whakawhiti ēnei whenua ki ōna ariki whenua.
Te rārangi ingoa o ngā rangatira whenua
Kei te mahi Te Kooti Whenua Māori i tēnei wā ki te whakahou i ngā rārangi o ngā ariki whenua mō ngā Poraka SILNA e whā e toe ana. Ko ngā ariki whenua o ēnei poraka he uri nō ngā kaipānga taketake i āhei ki te whiwhi whenua i raro i tēnei Ture, kāore i whiwhi i ō rātou whenua i te wā i te mana te Ture. Ka tautuhia ngā kaitaua ānō nei he whenua Māori herekore te whenua, me te aha i mate te tangata me te kore wira.
Ko te kaupapa o te whakahou i te rārangi o ngā ariki whenua he whakarite ka taea te haere atu a ngā kaitaua ki ngā hui me te pōti i ngā hui hei ariki whenua mō te whakatau me pēhea te whiwhi i te whenua.
Ina rata te Kooti kua tautuhia ngā kaitaua ki ngā kaipānga taketake o ngā whenua SILNA ki tērā e tino taea ana, ka karangahia he hui mā ngā kaitaua mō taua poraka. Ka whiriwhiria e ngā kaitaua i tēnei hui ngā kōwhiringa puretumu kē, mēnā e tika ana. Ka taea anō e rātou te whakatau mēnā ka hiahia rātou ki te whiwhi i te whenua hei whenua Māori, Tukipū rānei, ā, ka pēhea te pupuri i taua whenua. He maha ngā kōwhiringa mō te whenua he maha ōna ariki whenua, tae atu ki ngā tarahiti, ngā kaporeihana whenua Māori me ētahi atu tauira pakihi.
