The Act is divided into 4 Parts: Preliminary (I); Control of native Land (II); Native Reserves (III); Miscellaneous (IV). The Act establishes a board of trustees called the Native Land Trust Board (sect. 3) in which the control of all native land shall be vested (sect. 4). The Act makes provision for the alienation, transfer and lease of native land. The Board may create a native reserve (sect. 15) where native land may not be alienated (sect. 16). Portions of the reserve may only be excluded from it with consent from the native owners (sect. 17).
