Wai 262 refers to a landmark legal case in New Zealand concerning the rights of Māori regarding their indigenous flora and fauna, as well as their cultural heritage. Officially known as the "Wai 262 Claim," it was filed with the Waitangi Tribunal in 1991 by various Māori groups, seeking recognition and protection of their traditional knowledge and resources. The case highlights issues of sovereignty, cultural identity, and the relationship between Māori and the New Zealand government. The Tribunal's report, released in 2011, called for significant changes to the management of Natural Resources and cultural heritage in New Zealand.
