I'm going to follow my colleague the Hon Nanaia Mahuta in focusing on aspects of your settlement that are contained in your settlement legislation. I particularly wanted to focus on the historical account, and I acknowledge my colleague Jan Logie for doing so. Essentially, one of your tūpuna signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and then in 1860 you joined the Kīngitanga, who we formed, ngā iwi o te motu, to negotiate with the Crown, because we were very worried about what was happening to our way of life and what was happening to our whenua.
