It is always an honour to speak on settlements and to be a part of the Māori Affairs Committee, where we get to hear directly from rōpū, from iwi, from hapū, and then we get to travel the journey with them, in some sense, to hear the history and, in this sense, the historical grievances of Māori, and, in this instance, of Ngati Rangitihi. This bill settles historical Ngāti Rangitihi claims with the Crown today. Through this settlement, the Crown seeks redress for the past injustices that have been inflicted upon Ngāti Rangitihi and provides opportunities for Ngāti Rangitihi and our Crown to move forward. This settlement lays the cultural and economic foundation for Ngāti Rangitihi, their rangatahi, their mokopuna, and future generations.
