Proposal: To establish a Whanau Trust to manage the interests of Pokaitara Wharemahihi, for current and future Generations

Current Status: Pokaitara Wharemahihi, left a lasting legacy of whanau, whakapapa and whenua. Also noted is an unallocated portion of Maori
Land shares. With significant changes to the Ture Whenua Act this year, we have decided to be proactive and incorporate this legacy remainder
into a collective Whanau Trust. To establish this Trust, we seek whanau consent and support.
We need to engage all lines (children of Pokaitara & their families), seek their feedback, support and written consensus. Each family line must
discuss/meet and give consent to allow their portion to be invested into the new trust. e.g. Papa had 17 living children therefore, they (living or
deceased) or their descendants are entitled to an equal portion of this legacy 1/17th.
Important Notes
This does NOT affect any shares currently bequeathed or already succeeded to by whanau or individuals. This is for unclaimed land shares
in papas name.
Whanau are not required/obligated to agree If they should choose not to, their portion of this estate will sit outside of the trust.
Objective: To succeed to any outstanding shares for investment into the proposed Whanau Trust.
Goal: A Whanau Trust that will manage the interests of Pokaitara Wharemahihi, for current and future Generations.
Resolutions: Below are proposed resolutions to enable support and provide functionality in moving forward with this kaupapa. Important Note: We
will not disclose/share any personal information for any purpose, other than for the following:
