This bill reading brings us one step closer to bringing effect to the deed of settlement between Ngāti Rangitihi and the Crown, which was signed at the Rangitihi Marae in Matatā on 5 December 2020. The deed of settlement settles historical Treaty of Waitangi claims relating to Ngāti Rangitihi and comprises historical redress that records the Crown's breaches of the Treaty and the past injustices the Crown inflicted on Ngāti Rangitihi; the Crown apology for historical Crown acts and omissions in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles and the resulting pain caused to Ngāti Rangitihi; cultural redress acknowledging connections to land and resources of significance to Ngāti Rangitihi; relationship redress building new connections with the Crown, local authorities, and other groups; and financial and commercial redress providing a strong economic base for the future.
