چکیده
Many of the countries of the Pacific region (including Australia and New Zealand) have a British colonial legacy. This history has had wide implications for the development of the region: economically, politically and socially.

Land is the single most important factor for Maori development in New Zealand, and has great implications for the development of this country.
