It's an honour to stand here today, to be part of recognising the wrongs that were visited upon Ngāti Rangitihi following the eruption, when the people of Ngāti Rangitihi were already devastated by the effects of that eruption; to be here today to be a small part of righting the wrongs of the past, to strengthen the present relationship with the Crown and iwi, and provide some redress, which will help create a stronger base for Ngāti Rangitihi to expand on its economic potential.
