Ngāti Maru is the final of our Taranaki settlements, and rightly so. This was the final piece of the puzzle that needed to happen before we could say that Taranaki Maunga have settled their historical grievances with the Crown. But let me remind you: Taranaki whānui, the journey's not over. We are currently in a space where we're talking about co-governance, and in our media, all around the country, there are people that are pushing a political narrative that co-governance is a very bad thing and co-management is a bad thing as well, and I'm going to need your help on this one, Ngāti Maru, to be able to fight back on that kōrero. I need you and many of our iwi to be able to stand up and acknowledge that the historical wrongs and the Treaty settlement process will never truly account for everything that has been lost.
