Ngāi Tahu, as we know, are signatories to Te Tiriti, and the Treaty promised rangatiratanga to iwi. We know now, quite clearly, that that promise in Te Tiriti has not been adhered to. That promise was to give rangatiratanga over whenua, over kāinga, and over taonga—in the loose translation of the English version, over lands, forests, fisheries, and all things precious to iwi. We know that the transactions, such as they were, by which Ngāi Tahu lost their lands and the things that were precious to them, weren't just, that they weren't honest, and that the Crown acted unconscionably. All that is acknowledged.
