We're still talking back in the early 1880s, and there were certainly negotiations, a series of agreements, and, I guess, assurances that sought Crown recognition over their mana whakahaere—over their lands and peoples—in return for the agreement to lift the aukati and allow the construction of what's talked about as Te Ara-o-Tūrongo, or that part of the North Island main trunk railway line to proceed through Te Rohe Pōtae. That continued right through to the current day.
