 In Panui

From the Crown’s first part of their closing submission on Landlocked Lands, during Hearing Week 14 at Rata in January 2021. A sobering statistic to remember when talking to others about what is unique, for us in Mōkai Pātea and the Taihape Rangitikei Waitangi Tribunal Inquiry District. “Māori retain approximately 14% of the land within the Taihape Rangitīkei inquiry district. 70% of the land retained by Māori in the inquiry district is landlocked. Nationally, as a broad estimate, up to 20% of land retained by Māori is estimated to be landlocked”.
