In this bill, the Crown apologies to Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua for not honouring its obligations to respect the tino rangatiratanga of Ngāti Kahungunu through repeated breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the Treaty of Waitangi, and its principles and for the damage caused to Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua. These include the forced cessation of tens of thousands of acres of land in 1845, Crown threats to end Pākehā settlement in Wairarapa and Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua, the failure to protect Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua from becoming virtually landless, not upholding the spirit of the agreement in 1896, and a failure to actively protect te reo Māori.
