Descripción:

The New Zealand Native Reserves Act 1856 passed in August 1856
provided the original legislative basis for the management and
administration of reserves that had been made or were to be
made "for the benefit of the aboriginal inhabitants".
The intention of the New Zealand Native Reserves Act as stated
in its preamble was to place land that had been and would
thereafter be reserved and set apart for the benefit of the
aboriginal inhabitants, under an effective system of
management. This management scheme was to apply to lands
where aboriginal title had been extinguished, and to lands
where aboriginal title had not been extinguished.
The Act allowed for the Governor to appoint persons to carry
the Act into effect - these people were to be called
"Commissioners of Native Reserves" (section 1). Several
Commissions could·be issued to several sets of Commissioners
(section 2) and in every Commission there were to be no less
than three Commissioners (section 3).
