In response, the pathway that was offered for Ngāti Rangitihi and other iwi and hapū to be able to try and resolve or address or complain about those confiscations was the Native Land Court. That was an institution established by the Crown that was putting out results and rulings that benefited the Crown, which, again, for me brings back, too, a fundamental problem with this House signing off and having a final say on settlements. When sovereignty was not ceded, why does this House have the final say? I do believe that we need to have that constitutional conversation and consideration of the recommendations in the work prompted by Matike Mai to work to a process that actually enables settlements to be truly agreed and finalised by the relevant parties, being hapū and the Crown.
