The events are complex because some hapū of Ahuriri fought with the Crown and some fought against the Crown. But, as is the case with Treaty settlements generally, the historical account focuses on the Crown's actions, not Ahuriri Hapū members. The attack on Ōmarunui is significant because of the grievance that it created for the descendants of those who were attacked and therefore, to supplement the historical account in the Ahuriri Hapū deed of settlement, officials have been working with the parties to record and publish the separate accounts of those events. That work is still due for completion, and I look forward to seeing that when that happens. So this second reading now brings us a step closer to concluding these issues.
