Today we're beginning this particular legislative process to further acknowledge you and the historical wrongs against your people, but the work to get to this point was started a very long time ago. I want to acknowledge all who were involved in this process and who have passed since that time. This bill will give effect to specific cultural redress shared between Ngāti Kahungunu and Rangitāne and provided for in their respective deeds of settlement. You may be wondering a little bit about why a Pākehā MP from Whakatu in Te Wai Pounamu would have anything to say on this particular bill. I consider this to be the first opportunity I have had to give a speech, a kōrero, in this Whare on a Treaty settlement bill. I'm really proud to whakapapa back to Wairarapa, where my mother grew up and where members of my whānau still live, and where I spent a lot of time as a child, and I'm proud also to have grown up in Manawatū, which is also a whakapapa to Rangitāne. As the MP for Nelson, Whakatu, we have eight iwi in our rohe, one of which I spent a lot of time working with—Rangitāne o Wairau. My colleague Barbara Edmonds earlier in her speech today mentioned the Wairau Affray and what happened to Te Rauparaha and the history, which is so important for the area that I come from and I know this is whakapapa that many of you here today will share.
