Again, I quote our submitters: "After meeting with Tauranga Moana iwi, our trustees and negotiation team made the decision to gift this piece of land to our Tauranga whanaunga when we receive it back. Yes, getting it back meant a lot to us but it meant so much to them too and it will forever symbolise a bond between our iwi. … we believe this outcome strengthened us an iwi and enhanced our mana." The committee thought so too, and see it as an enlightened and elegant solution.
