The purpose of the Waikato Maaori Housing Toolkit is to assist Maaori land owners in the Waikato District to understand the processes for developing papakaainga upon their ancestral lands.
The concept of papakaainga is not new and in fact marks a return to traditional social structures inherent in pre-European Maaori. The promotion of papakaainga also serves to utilise traditional Maaori land for the benefit of its owners and their uri.
