Becoming a maori warden is governed by the Maori Community Development Act (1962).

The ACT is a document that states (MAORI) and no other ethnicity, however there are Polynesian, European, Asian, who have become wardens through intermarriage with Maori and the children have followed in the footsteps of those parents.

The ACT is clear in its processes a warden is nominated for establishment from a marae committee or maori committee.

The nominee is interviewed by a local sub association and advised of the sub association rulings.
