The Maori Law/ NZ Government

Land Law. Currently, about five percent of the land in New Zealand is Maori land. The Maori Land Court, which was established by the Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993 The Māori Land Act, has the authority to hear cases relating to the ownership, administration, and transfer of ownership of Maori land.

Prior to European settlement, the individual Māori tribes of New Zealand had well-established governance arrangements, social structures, and systems of accepted norms and customs, generally referred to as tikanga Māori.  This included rules relating to trade and land rights, family relationships, protection of the environment, and conflict resolution.  According to a prominent Maori professor, tikanga Maori is the Maori equivalent of English law. The Maori history/ NZ Government

I choose the Maori law government because I wanted to learn more about the maori nz government and if it's negative or positive. So I researched stuff about the Nz Maori government and what I found out was I seen some stuff and i clicked onto the research and I found out how the government works. This is some stuff i found out about the government and about the treaty of waitangi and plenty more different things.

Maori are tangata whenua — people of the land. They came to Aotearoa from Polynesia in the 13th century and created a new language and culture. How the treaty of waitangi works, The Treaty is New Zealand’s founding document made between the British Crown and about 540 Māori rangatira chiefs. The original Treaty documents are at He Tohu at the National Library in Wellington. You can view the Treaty any time during opening hours. If you're a large group or want a guide, you can book a free guided tour. In the later 20th century the Waitangi Tribunal was set up to investigate breaches of the treaty, and Māori headed a number of government agencies concerned with Māori.
