In this speech, I want to be specific to the experience of Ngāti Rangitihi. I want to start by acknowledging the points that guided the negotiation as articulated by Ngāti Rangitihi, which were the aspirations for kaitiakitanga, manaakitanga, rangatiratanga, and the desire to restore the mauri—the health and spiritual wellbeing—of all those places in their rohe that contribute to the healthy environment for their people; to restore the health and wellbeing of the Tarawera River system, which is synonymous with the health and wellbeing of Ngāti Rangitihi; and to take an integrated approach to the management of our natural, physical, cultural, and historical resources. I want to start by acknowledging those guiding principles and the contrast between those principles and the historical actions of the Crown to seize land, to have that philosophy of man over nature about economic output at the cost of all else, and facilitating, in effect, at the heart of it, the destruction of the land that supports us. How much we could learn from actually taking our guidance from those aspirations and that world view, as so beautifully articulated by Ngāti Rangitihi.
