mar 5, 1953 - Moari Affairs Act

Description:

The 1953 Maori Affairs Act and its 1967 amendment allowed the Crown to take Maori-owned land that it considered ‘uneconomic’.

Many Maori saw this as the final land grab. They intensified their fight for land and Treaty rights, through official channels and protest.
