The Ahuriri Hapū Claims Settlement Bill includes redress designed to aid Ahuriri hapū on their journey to achieve their aspirations. In particular, I'd like to draw attention to Te Muriwai o Te Whanga, the Napier estuary. Following the devastating 1931 Napier earthquake, Te Whanga was reclaimed, dredged, and heavily polluted. The Crown recognises the role of Ahuriri hapū as kaitiaki of Te Whanga. For Ahuriri hapū, Te Muriwai o Te Whanga is a taonga of great significance and they are committed to healing the damage that has been done to it and restoring it to its previous condition.
