Preamble.Whereas for some years past certain Maoris have occupied portions of the confiscated Native lands in the vicinity of the Waitotara River, and have cultivated the same and have erected dwellings thereon: And whereas it is desirable that the lands so occupied should be granted to the said occupiers in exchange for certain Native lands belonging to the said occupiers: And whereas an agreement to this effect has been made between the Crown and the Maoris concerned:

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

1.	Short Title. This Act may be cited as the Rangitatau Block Exchange Act. 1907.
2.	(1.) Certain Native land vested in Crown. The land described in the First Schedule hereto is hereby vested in the Crown free from all rights, titles, or interests vested in the Native owners thereof or in any other person. (2.) The said land shall be administered and disposed of under the provisions of the Land Act, 1892, and its amendments.
3.	(1.) Exchange of certain Crown land therefor. In exchange for the Native land so vested in the Crown the Governor may grant the Crown land described in the Second Schedule hereto to the Native owners of the land described in the First Schedule hereto, in such areas and shares as the Governor thinks fit in order to carry out the terms of the above-recited agreement, and subject to such restrictions against alienation or other disposition as the Governor determines. (2.) The decision of the Governor as to the respective shares and areas so to be allotted and granted, and as to the persons who are entitled to receive the same, shall be final and conclusive.
