He aha tō hononga ki tō whānau me tō whenua i te kore he wira mō te 200 tau?
What is your relationship to your whānau and whenua in the absence of a will for 200 years?
Toi Whakapapa is...
This question is one that whānau are asked when they go to the Māori Land Court, especially when there is no will. Without prior thought or understanding, it can be difficult to answer. Although it may seem like a common question, it is actually about the foundations that shape your life. Reflecting on it helps you understand yourself better, as well as the family and environment that have made you who you are. For Māori, this understanding enables them to answer this question when they are asked it at the Māori Land Court.
