Then in the early 1890s—so this is within just such a short period of time from being independent, autonomous, living rich lives to being virtually landless—Ngāti Maru appealed to the Crown for their help. The Crown's response was slow and ineffective, and then eventually it got around to, in 1907, awarding some small parcels of poor and limited land that would not enable Ngāti Maru to support themselves or rebuild. And an agreement to consolidate individual awards into more economically viable and culturally appropriate family holdings was never carried out. Treachery upon treachery upon treachery. The harm of this has been severe poverty of spirit, of land, of body, and that lies with the Crown. And that it is very clear, through debates online and in this House still; how often we need to repeat that that harm is from the Crown's action and not Māori inadequacy just infuriates me, when I read these settlements.
