Although the redress to Ngāti Maru in this Treaty settlement does not in any way match the harm that was done to them, it is still my hope that the settlement will provide a way forward to right these breaches of the law. While we, the Greens, were discussing issues such as these, the House needs to know that the Treaty of Waitangi was not an agreement for the sale of belongings nor of land. The Treaty of Waitangi is a living document. It binds tightly together the Crown and the hapū in order to embody the dreams of our ancestors.
