The settlement package legislated for in this bill provides a Crown apology to Moriori for the acts and omissions which breached the Crown's obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi and for the damage that those actions caused to Moriori. These include the failure to have acted in a more reactive and proactive manner to end the enslavement, the failure to protect ta rē Moriori, the failure to protect Moriori from become virtually landless, the collection and trade of Moriori human remains, and Crown's contribution to the stigmatisation of Moriori as a racially inferior people who became extinct—all incorrect. Various mechanisms, including the transfer of eight sites, will be offered as cultural redress, and $18 million plus interest will be offered as financial redress in this bill.
