It's the Crown's wish that through this settlement it can restore its honour and atone for its past injustices that it has inflicted on Ngāti Rangitihi. No settlement can ever truly atone for this wrongdoing or compensate for the hurt Ngāti Rangitihi have endured, but I hope that this settlement will be a starting point, signalling a new, strengthened relationship between Ngāti Rangitihi and the Crown, based on cooperation, mutual trust, and true respect for the Treaty and its principles. Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
