31 juill. 1953 - Maori Affairs Act - passed
Description:
The Maori Affairs Act 1953 defined three types of Māori land – customary, freehold and reserve land. Most controversially, it gave the Māori Land Court the power to vest Māori freehold land valued at less than £25 in the Māori Trustee. The act also tried to improve the use and development of Māori land by allowing some flexibility in land management, such as through trusts. It remained the governing legislation for Māori land for 40 years.Source: https://teara.govt.nz/en/te-koti-whenua-maori-land-court/page-5
