But I want to read to you from the apology that the Crown offers today, because it puts it very clearly what the omission here was: "The Crown profoundly regrets that it failed for many years to take action to end Moriori enslavement, and that your karāpuna continued to suffer greatly in oppressive conditions which caused many more to die, including some who died of an illness known to Moriori as 'kongenge', a deep despair of the spirit." I want to acknowledge that deep despair of the spirit, because what we know happened with the Moriori people was, through this history of oppression and the inaction that occurred, there was a loss of language and there was a loss of mana and there was a loss of authority, and that was passed on through the generations. In 1870, when the Native Land Court heard the claim to the Chatham Islands, it ruled that 97 percent of that land was the rightful ownership of Māori iwi precedent and not of Moriori, and that was a deep, deep blow to your people.
