In view of these findings, the Waitangi Tribunal recommended the Crown pause the introduction of settlement legislation to take steps to rectify its Treaty breaches around the joint redress concerning Wairarapa Moana and the Ruamāhanga River, help Rangitāne and Ngāti Kahungunu to work together to ensure that the further redress and processes do not jeopardise the relationship, and to do so before any matters that were concluded about redress concerning the Wairarapa Moana and Ruamāhanga River.
