Module 1

Know Your Whenua

Most delays on Māori land don’t come from councils or banks — they come from not clearly understanding your land. This module replaces assumptions, hearsay, and whānau myths with verifiable facts.

By the end of this module you’ll have confirmed your block name, land status, ownership structure, and who currently has the legal authority to act. Getting this right unlocks everything else.

Confirm your ownership structure
Find out who has the authority to make decisions
Understand what legal pathways are available to you
