Story: Whāngārei tribes

Māori land loss

Māori land loss

The Whāngārei tribes suffered greatly from the loss of their lands, and by 1936 in the whole Auckland area under 4 hectares per head remained in Māori hands. This map, prepared for the unpublished centennial historical atlas in the 1940s, shows in yellow the Māori-owned land in 1910; in the Whāngārei area the holdings were miniscule.
