I want to mention that, in particular, the Crown acknowledges and apologises for the forced cession of tens of thousands of acres of land at Maungaroa in 1845; for the failure to act in good faith during rapid and extensive land purchases, which left Ngāti Kahungunu virtually landless by 1900; for the failure to honour the chiefly gifting of Wairarapa Moana, for which the Crown promised ample reserves on the shores of Lake Wairarapa but instead gave land at Pouākani, north-west of Taupō, much of which was subsequently taken back through public works; and for the failure to actively protect and encourage te reo Māori.
