Specific acknowledgments of breaches in the deed include: acting unjustly in sending Crown forces across the Mangatāwhiri River during the Waikato War, including indiscriminately killing non-combatants and looting and destroying property; breaching the Treaty by confiscating land in which Maniapoto had interests, unfairly labelling Maniapoto as rebels, and failing to provide for refugees entering the Maniapoto rohe; and failing to protect Maniapoto tribal structures from the operation and impact of the Native land laws, particularly the individualisation of tribal lands, which led to massive alienation of the tribal lands Maniapoto had cherished for centuries. No settlement can ever compensate for the mamae that Maniapoto have endured for many generations. It is my sincere hope that this settlement will lay the foundation for a positive, aspirational future for the people Maniapoto, whether they be in Te Rohe Pōtae / King Country, in and around Te Kūiti, Ōtorohanga, Te Awamutu, or wherever Maniapoto whānau may be.
