TE WAIARIKI IWI WIN BID TO BUY BACK ANCESTRAL LAND AT PĀTAUA IN NORTHLANDThere were celebrations for supporters of a land occupation at Pātaua in Northland today with mana whenua iwi Te Waiariki winning a bid to buy back a large block of their ancestral land. The block of nearly 60 hectares is prime coastal land near Whangārei. It borders another block of Māori owned land - a DOC campground and a tidal estuary.
