The title of this bill, Te Rohe o Rongokako Joint Redress Bill, refers to a rohe-wide committee established by iwi in the 19th century under the Maori Council's Act 1900 to address health and welfare issues among their people. This joint redress legislation recognises the enduring bonds that exist between Rangitāne and Ngāti Kahungunu. It is important that a settlement process enhances rather than jeopardises those bonds.
