In this bill, the Crown acknowledges and apologises to Ngāti Maru for its acts and omissions which breach the Crown's obligations in the Treaty of Waitangi and for the damage that those actions caused to Ngāti Maru. These include acknowledgments relating to the wars in Taranaki in the 1860s, the Crown's confiscation of approximately half of Ngāti Maru rohe, its imprisonment of Ngāti Maru men without trial following their participation in protests initiated at Parihaka regarding the confiscation of Taranaki lands and its subsequent invasion and destruction. The legislation also includes an acknowledgment that the Crown failed to ensure that Ngāti Maru retain sufficient land for their present and future needs, and that it failed to protect their rangatiratanga. Ngāti Maru will receive financial and commercial redress valued at $30 million. Cultural redress includes the vesting of 16 sites of cultural significance, including the Purangi Domain and Tarata Domain.
