I'll just refer briefly to the historical account. This is always a very important part of any deed and of any bill. The committee responded to submissions about some aspects of the historical account in the bill. There are some submitters who sought to amend the description of events that took place at Ōmarunui and Herepoho. At that event, in 1866, the Crown initiated hostilities when it attacked Māori at Ōmarunui and Herepoho. Thirty Māori died defending themselves against the Crown attacks, which were launched before the Crown had made a reasonable attempt to negotiate a continuation of the peace in the district. The Crown captured Ngāti Matepū and Ngāti Māhu people during the conflict and imprisoned them on the Chatham Islands without trial and in harsh conditions.
