I think it's really important to acknowledge again—this comes up so often in settlements—that so often we're dealing with restoring the role of hapū as kaitiaki that was removed, to the detriment of our environment and our people. If only that role of kaitiaki had been able to be maintained, we would not see the widespread degradation of our lands that we see around us now and that we are struggling desperately to be able to repair. This settlement establishes a permanent statutory committee, Te Komiti Muriwai o Te Whanga, to ensure the protection and the enhancement of the environmental, economic, social, cultural, spiritual, historical, and cultural values of the area.
