- Notes:
-
- J.M. McEwen's report in 1968 indicated that land tenure system in Niue was already under strain. He points out that customary Niuean land tenure consists of family ownership, with an appointed family hread, and undistributed rights of occupation which pass by descent. Ownership is fluid, in that rights can be lost by continued absence of owners from the land. Rights of occupation may also be lost in the same way. The system is essentially practical in that it enables the land to be worked by individual owners without interference from co-owners. Niuean customary tenure was opposed to individualised freehold titles registered under the Niue Act 1966, derived from the New Zealand Maori Land Act.
