The response over decades from the Crown has been slow and inadequate, and that extensive loss of land has created severe poverty and it has harmed generations of Ngāti Maru people. This bill starts to give effect to a settlement package which includes several components: firstly, a Crown acknowledgment of and apology for historical breaches of our Treaty obligations, an acknowledgment that we didn't ensure Ngāti Maru retained sufficient land for their present and future needs and failed to protect their rangatiratanga. It also includes an agreed historical account, cultural redress, financial redress, and commercial redress involving a right to purchase Crown forests, licensed land, and sites from the Treaty Settlements Landbank.
