The Ngāti Hinerangi Claims Settlement Bill seeks to give effect to the Ngāti Hinerangi settlement package, as outlined in the legislative statement. The redress provided in this settlement went through significant changes through negotiations and in response to overlapping claims, and I believe it will go a long way towards Ngāti Hinerangi re-establishing their connection with various parts of their rohe, strengthening the identity of Ngāti Hinerangi as tangata whenua and providing the foundation for a stronger social, cultural, and economic future for the iwi.
