It's important to mention these challenges, if only to highlight the strength and persistence of Mana Ahuriri to reach this final milestone. It is finally time for the Crown to make redress to the people of Ahuriri for its breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I'm saddened that Ahuriri Hapū cannot be here physically in this session today, but it is nevertheless a great privilege and an honour to stand here today in this House to support enactment of the Ahuriri Hapū Claims Settlement Bill as they watch from the banquet hall. I acknowledge the seven hapū of Ahuriri Hapū: Ngāti Hinepare, Ngāti Māhu, Ngāti Matepū, Ngāti Paarau, Ngāi Tāwhao, Ngāi Te Ruruku, and Ngāti Tū. I wish to acknowledge those who are not with us today to witness the outcome of years of hard work, courage, and commitment. We cannot and do not forget those who have suffered the grievances and those who initiated and carried the claims process for the seven hapū of Ahuriri. They are in our thoughts today. I particularly wish to acknowledge the leadership and work of Piri Prentice, Heitia Hiha, Barry Wilson, Joinella Maihi-Carroll, and Tania Eden, who have all completed a long and difficult task with a clear purpose and have done an excellent job for Ahuriri Hapū.
