I want to acknowledge these descendants who played that critical role, as we saw back in the 1880s. I want to share with members of this House that, prior to the signing of Tiriti o Waitangi, iwi, Māori, hapū were economically viable units. They owned their own whenua, they looked after their own tikanga and reo, they produced off their whenua, and they traded—and they traded. But what they also did is they welcomed in the settlers, they welcomed them in. They leased land. They allowed them to live amongst them. This was the graciousness of this iwi, and many others. But what did the Crown do in return? The Crown, in return, said, "Not enough, not enough. We don't just want to lease your land, we want to purchase your land."
