Mō ngā whenua Māori o Aotearoa

He aha rā te whenua Māori?

He rerekē ngā momo whenua Māori – he whenua korehere Māori te momo e tino mōhiotia ana, heoi, e 5% noa tēnā o ngā whenua katoa o Aotearoa ināianei.

I mua i te taenga mai o te Pākehā, ka whakamahia, ka poipoia te whenua Māori e te rōpū. Nō muri atu i te tāminga o tauiwi, he nui ngā mahi a te Karauna ki te whiwhi i te mana pupuri o ō tātou whenua, arā, ka kaha rātou ki te tahuri i ngā whenua e mau ana i te rōpū ki te taitara tangata takitahi, kia ngāwari ake ai te hokotanga atu.

He hītori o te whenua Māori

Ināianei, e toru ngā momo whenua Māori, he rerekē ngā ture me ngā whakamarumarutanga ki runga i tēnā me tēnā.

Te whenua Māori korehere

He whenua Māori korehere te nuinga o ngā whenua Māori. Kei te takiwā o te 1.4 miriona heketea te nui o tēnei momo whenua, arā, kei tōna 5% o Aotearoa. Koia hoki te momo whenua Māori e kōrerohia ana i runga i tēnei pae tukutuku, arā, ko te whenua Māori korehere.

E whakahaerehia ana, e whakamarumarutia ana te whenua Māori korehere e Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. Ko ngā mātāpono o te Ture ēnei:

  • he taonga tuku iho te whenua Māori
  • me whakatairanga te noho pūmau o ngā whenua Māori ki roto i ngā ringaringa o ngā kaipupuri, o ō rātou whānau me ō rātou hapū
  • me whakamarumaru ngā wāhi tapu
  • me ngāwari ake te noho, te whakamahinga me te whakawhanaketanga o te whenua mā ngā Māori hei painga mō ngā kaipupuri, ō rātou whānau me ō rātou hapū.

Ngā rōpū pupuri whenua Māori

I te wā o ngā tīpuna, ka tiakina te whenua e te rōpū. Heoi, nā ngā tikanga pupuri whenua a te Pākehā, e mea ana kia kotahi anake te kaipupuri, ka huri ngā tikanga tiaki whenua a te rōpū. I tēnei rā, kei ngā kaipupuri maha te nuinga o te whenua Māori korehere, otirā, he rerekē te nui o ngā hea a tēnā me tēnā.

Kua whakawehewehea ō tātou whenua ki ngā poraka iti, e hia rau hoki ngā kaipupuri o ētahi o aua poraka. Nā te tini o ngā kaipupuri, he uaua te whiriwhiri take mō te whenua, heoi anō, ka puta hoki te huhua o ngā pūkenga me ngā mōhiotanga.

Ngā whakahaere mō te mana pupuri o te whenua Māori i tēnei rā

Te tuku i te mana pupuri whenua

Ka taea ngā hea o te whenua Māori te tuku atu mā:

  • te kairīwhitanga — te tuku i te mana pupuri ki te whānau i te matenga o tētahi kaipupuri hea
  • te takoha hea, te hoko atu rānei — e kīia ana ko te 'whakarere rawa' hoki tēnei
  • te waihanga, te kuhu atu rānei i ngā hea ki roto i tētahi rōpū kaitiaki ā-whānau.

Ka mahi ngātahi te Kōti Whenua Māori i te taha o te whānau ki te whakaū i ngā momo whakawhitinga whenua Māori i raro i te ture.

He aha te kairīwhitanga?

Te whenua Māori tuku iho

He mea pupuri te whenua Māori tuku iho nā te Māori, e hāngai ana ki ngā tikanga Māori, kāore hoki i hurihia hei whenua Māori korehere e ngā Kōti Whenua. He iti noa ēnei momo whenua e toe ana i tēnei rā.

Te whenua Pākehā e mau ana i te Māori

He whenua Pākehā ngā whenua e mau ana i te Māori kotahi, i tētahi rōpū Māori rānei. Kāore tēnei momo whenua i te whakamarumarutia e Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 — ka āhei noa te hoko mai, te hoko atu, te whakawhanake hoki.
