Wellington Tenths Trust & Palmerston North Māori Reserve Trust

The Wellington Tenths Trust is an Ahu Whenua Trust established following the agreement between the New Zealand Company and the Rangatira of Te Āti Awa in 1839. The Trust comprises nearly 7,000 registered owners and their whānau, representing a total of approximately 20,000 people. The Palmerston North Māori Reserve Trust is an Ahu Whenua Trust that originated through an act of the Crown in 1866 when Governor Grey exchanged Te Āti Awa land interests in Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt, with a block of land which is now part of central Palmerston North. There are currently 1,111 beneficial owners with many other whānau through those beneficial owners. We are Mana Whenua and hold mana whakahaere in the takiwā of Wellington, Lower Hutt, and Upper Hutt.
