The Ngāti Maru (Taranaki) Claims Settlement Bill gives effect to te herenga takitaki, the deed of settlement, between Ngāti Maru and the Crown, signed on 27 February 2021, and settles all the historical te Tiriti o Waitangi claims of Ngāti Maru. The bill, like the deed of settlement, acknowledges the Crown's historic breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It also provides Ngāti Maru with a cultural and economic base to support future revitalisation.
