In 1865, approximately half of the traditional lands of Ngāti Maru were included. As I mentioned before, Ngāti Maru were not involved in the land dealings and not involved in the subsequent fighting, and yet the Crown actually had the gall at the time to call Ngāti Maru rebels and go ahead and confiscate the majority of their land. The main kāinga, urupā, and wāhi tapu were taken, and some of those have never been returned.
