Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill
Government Bill
As reported from the Māori Affairs Committee
Commentary
Recommendation
The Māori Affairs Committee has examined the Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Xxxx and recommends that it be passed with the amendments shown.
Introduction
The Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill seeks to give effect to the Deed of Settlement signed by the Crown and Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa agreeing to the final settlement of all the outstanding historical Treaty of Waitangi claims of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. It also records the acknowledgements and apology the Crown offered to Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa.
Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa’s historical claims relate mainly to pre-Treaty land transac- tions, Crown purchasing, the Crown’s surplus lands policy, its failure to protect Nga- tikahu ki Whangaroa reserves, the taking of land for public works, the operation and impact of native land laws, and landlessness.
Part 1 of the bill includes a summary of the historical account, acknowledgements, and the Crown’s acknowledgements and apology. Part 2 deals with cultural redress.
In the Deed of Settlement, the Crown agreed to provide certain redress in settlement of all of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa’s historical Treaty claims. The bill includes only those parts of the redress in the settlement that require legislative authority.
This commentary covers the settlement issues we considered and the amendments that we recommend to the bill, most of which are minor and technical.

2 Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill Commentary
Background information about Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa
Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa is a claimant group of about 3,000 people whose area of in- terest lies in the Far North between the Mangonui Harbour and the Whangaroa Har- xxxx.
Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa’s area of interest overlaps with Ngāti Kahu (north-west) and Ngāpuhi (south-east).
On 20 September 2001, the Crown recognised the mandate of the Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Trust Board to represent Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa in Treaty settlement negotiations with the Crown.
The beneficiaries for Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa are defined as the descendants of Ka- hukuraariki or any other recognised ancestor of the group defined in Part 1, clause 13 of the bill. This definition was jointly defined by the Crown and iwi.
We are aware of some concern that this definition might undermine customary owner- ship. We were advised that no submissions in the mandate process questioned the val- idity of Kahukuraariki as the ancestor from whom Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa descend. We are satisfied that the bill would not extinguish customary ownership rights.
Ratification process and participation
As part of our consideration of the bill, we requested information about the ratifica- tion process, and whether this was sufficient to support settlement. The level of par- ticipation in the ratification process was 30.9 percent. The process lasted seven weeks. Four ratification hui were held, and voting was open for 10 weeks and five days.
Of the 2,426 voting packs sent to registered adult members of Ngatikahu ki Whangar- oa, 750 votes were received. Although we are concerned that this is low, we under- stand that it is a “mid-range” level of participation.
The Crown considered that the ratification process was open and transparent, with ef- forts made to thoroughly advertise the ratification hui, disseminate voting packs wide- ly, and reschedule hui to suit registered voting members.
Settlement boundaries and the inclusion of Mangawhero Marae, Otangaroa
We heard that there was disagreement about whether Mangawhero Marae, Otangaroa, should be included in the settlement boundary. The Deed of Mandate for the trust board was submitted in 1999 and published in 2000. After publication, the trust board received objections, including whether Mangawhero Marae, Otangaroa, should be in- cluded in Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa’s mandate.
The Crown did not consider the boundary issue at Otangaroa an obstacle to negoti- ations because the Crown recognises general areas of interest, rather than a precise boundary, during the settlement process. The area of interest is used to help define the claimant group, and it is common for areas of interest to overlap.
Commentary Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill 3
Two hui were held to determine whether those affiliated to Mangawhero Marae are descended from Kahukuraariki and should be represented by the trust board. The Crown was satisfied from the hui reports that the majority of the Ngatikahu ki Whan- garoa people considered that Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx should be represented by the trust board.
This conclusion was based on the view of the Mangawhero people that their marae was a Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa marae, the significant support of the marae’s inclu- sion expressed at both hui, and confirmation by Xx Xxxxxxx-x-Xxx o Ngāti Kahu that it does not represent Mangawhero Marae.8
Ownership of Stony Creek Station
Stony Creek Assets are currently Crown property and are the key feature of redress in the Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa settlement package.9
We heard that Stony Creek Station has been illegally occupied by some members of Ngāti Aukiwa since late 2007.10 The occupation undermines the mandate of the trust board, and the relationship between the occupiers and the members of the trust board is strained. Stony Creek Station’s assets have devalued because the Crown has not been able to carry out standard maintenance on the property. We note that the total financial redress is in lieu of the Crown’s obligation to maintain Stony Creek Assets in substantially the same condition as they were in 2007 at the time the Agreement in Principle was signed.11
Several submitters argued that the Stony Creek Station should belong to Ngāti Auki- wa as a distinct tribal entity from Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. However, Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa said that most hapū and marae have associations with the Stony Creek Station and the Thomson and Xxxxxx blocks, particularly Taemaro Marae, Waimahana Marae, and Mangatowai Marae, and Ngāti Roha, Ngāti Aukiwa, and Ngāti Rua. The Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Post-Settlement Governance Entity (PSGE) has also told us that most members of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa are also members of Ngāti Aukiwa.
We understand that repeated efforts have been made since 2007 to resolve the occupa- tion of Stony Creek Station and unite Ngāti Aukiwa with Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. This led to several refinements to the Agreement in Principle and culminated in a whakapapa wānanga in January 2015. Although the outcome of the wānanga was that Stony Creek Station should belong to all Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa based on whakapa- pa, none of the Ngāti Aukiwa occupiers attended the wānanga.
8 The two hui were Xxxxxxxxx xxx on 25 May 2002 and Xxxxxxxxxx xxx on 11 May 2002.
9 The Stony Creek Assets are made up of about 3,000 hectares, including Stony Creek Station, the Thomson and Xxxxxx blocks, and stock and plant.
10 Ngāti Aukiwa is a hapū of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa that claims an exclusive proprietary inter- est in Stony Creek Station.
11 The Deed of Settlement includes financial redress of $6.2 million and interest for failing to maintain the condition of the Stony Creek Assets.
4 Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill Commentary
After the wānanga, the Crown decided that the Māori Land Court was not an appro- priate avenue to determine ownership. In an attempt to reach a solution, the Stony Creek Station will be vested in the PSGE with the proviso that the PSGE be respon- sible for finalising ownership.
The PSGE trust deed includes conditions requiring a post-settlement decision about the final ownership of Stony Creek Station. The process allows all adult registered members of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa to determine the final ownership. If the PSGE does not comply with these conditions within four years of the settlement date, any member of the beneficiary group can apply to the High Court to have them enforced.
Overlapping claims with Ngāti Kahu and Ngāpuhi
We received concerns that the bill would extinguish other hapū claims and relation- ships with the land, particularly with the maunga Whakaangi and the Whangaroa Har- xxxx.
The Whakaangi Scenic Reserve is adjacent to Whakaangi maunga, and the maunga is privately owned. There is an overlay classification on the Whakaangi Scenic Reserve that recognises a Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa relationship13. We note that the Department of Conservation is obliged to discuss its management with all iwi who have a custom- ary relationship with the site.
We were advised that the bill would not affect any claimants who do not fall within the claimant definition of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. It settles only the historical claims of the descendants of Xxxxxxxxxxxxx and does not include any redress relating to the Whangaroa Harbour.
Crown acknowledgements and apology
It was suggested that the Crown should make acknowledgements to individual hapū to properly reflect the consequences for the people. We note that the Crown’s ap- proach is generally to settle with large natural groups, so the acknowledgements and apology are usually directed at the whole group rather than individual hapū, unless a special request is made. In this case, no such request was received.
12 Waimahana Marae is the marae most closely associated with the occupiers and Ngāti Aukiwa.
13 An overlay classification applies to highly significant sites on land administered by the Depart- ment of Conservation. A number of recent settlements have included joint overlay classifica- tions.
14 The particular claims mentioned by submitters were Wai 58 and Wai 1666.
Commentary Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill 5
The Crown apology is based on the historical account agreed by the trust board and the Crown. Several submissions expressed concern about the content of the historical account, which contains a detailed account of the history leading up to the settlement negotiations. However, we note that the historical account is just one contribution to the understanding of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa’s past. The Crown’s apology and ac- knowledgements show that the Crown accepts its responsibility for breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi.
We acknowledge that some Ngāti Aukiwa assert that they did not cede sovereignty and are the rightful owners of the lands and natural resources in their traditional xxxx- xxxxxx. However, as already noted, it is the Crown’s preference to settle with large natural groups of tribal interests, rather than individual hapū or whānau within an iwi.
Suggested amendments relating to the overlay classification in Deed Document Schedule and the Conservation Protocol
It was submitted that clauses 1.3 and 3 of the Deed of Settlement Schedule be amended. However, we were advised that the current wording in clause 1.3 has a higher legal status than the suggested change. The suggested amendment to clause 3 is not necessary as section 4 of the Conservation Act requires the Act to be interpre- xxx and administered to give effect to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
It was also suggested that an “Accidental Discovery Protocol” be developed for kōiwi (human remains) and that Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa be engaged in developing an indi- genous species management programme. However, we are aware that a protocol has already been agreed in the Deed of Settlement. Part of this protocol includes regular meetings between the Department of Conservation and Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. This would be an appropriate forum for discussing such issues as discovery of kōiwi and indigenous species management programmes. The current bill allows for these processes to be developed and implemented after settlement.
Disposal of Reserve Land
We were asked to recommend giving xxx a first right of refusal on any land the Crown wishes to dispose of. The committee recognises that the process for the disposal of Crown land is already covered by other legislation. We looked at a possible amend- ment arising from clause 4.1.2 of the Deed Document Schedule of the Deed of Settle- ment, which is the disposal clause referred to in the Deed of Recognition for the Aka- tārere Historic Reserve.
We note that the Deed of Recognition referred to in the submission applies to an his- toric reserve that is subject to the Reserves Act 1977. The Act sets out the disposal process for reserve land.
Technical changes to land descriptions
As a result of surveys completed for a number of the cultural redress properties, we recommend several technical amendments to Schedule 3 of the bill. These amend- ments will update the legal descriptions for those properties.

Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill Part 1 cl 8
Summary of historical account | ||
(1) | Prior to 1840, Europeans and Māori conducted land transactions within the Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa xxxx. The majority of these involved other iwi who asserted some authority over the region. The Crown was meant to investigate the legitimacy of these transactions in the 1840s, but in most cases failed to do | 5 |
so because of concerns this would aggravate inter-tribal conflict. In the 1850s, the Crown investigated some Mangonui land claims, but did not investigate others. Though Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa occupied many of these blocks, the Crown failed to adequately consider their customary interests. | ||
(2) | The Crown considered all customary title was extinguished if a land commis- sioner confirmed the transaction. It assumed ownership of an estimated 11 000 acres of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa ancestral lands through its “surplus” land policy. Māori evidence regarding these transactions was not always heard in an open, public inquiry. | 10 |
(3) | In 1841, the Crown sought to settle a dispute between two Māori rangatira by acquiring their interests in the area between Mangonui, Taemaro, and Otangar- oa. Though these transactions involved Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa’s ancestral lands, there is no evidence of their involvement or of the Crown sufficiently in- vestigating their customary interests. | 15 |
(4) | In 1863, the Crown signed the Mangonui purchase to settle outstanding Māori claims in the eastern Mangonui area. The Crown agreed to set aside Taemaro and Waiaua as Māori reserves, but it reduced the size of Taemaro reserve—ex- cluding some areas occupied and cultivated by Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. A Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa petitioner later claimed that the Mangonui purchase of approximately 22 000 acres only involved about 2 000 acres at Kopupene. | 20 25 |
(5) | The establishment of the Native Land Court in 1865 altered Māori customary tenure by allowing individual ownership. The 500-acre Motukahakaha block was awarded to 2 Māori owners and was later sold to private interests. The Na- tive Land Court awarded Māori title to the 977-acre Takerau block, but then cancelled it after deciding Takerau was Crown land. | 30 |
(6) | Māori were awarded title to the 3 990-acre Taemaro block in 1870, which lay within the boundaries of the 1863 Mangonui purchase. The Crown believed it owned the block, but failed to attend the court hearing. Māori later surrendered title to Taemaro in exchange for an enlarged 99-acre reserve at Taemaro and a 649-acre reserve at Waimahana. The Crown passed the Taimaro and Waimaha- | 35 |
na Grants Act 1874, which empowered the Governor to establish the 2 re- serves. The Act vested Taemaro reserve in 6 individuals and Waimahana re- serve in 10 individuals. | ||
(7) | Xxxxxxx remained a contentious issue for Xxxxxxxxx xx Xxxxxxxxx, who claimed they were coerced into surrendering title to the block. Crown officials denied any coercion. Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa repeatedly petitioned the Crown about “surplus” lands and the Taemaro and Takerau transactions. | 40 |
Part 1 cl 8 Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill
(8) After Crown officials approached them about gifting an area Lord Ranfurly had picnicked at for a scenic reserve, Motukiwi Hone Tua and other Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa offered the Crown approximately 10 acres for this purpose. The Crown, however, eventually decided to take 706 acres for the Ranfurly Bay Scenic Reserve, including important Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa wāhi tapu and 5 urupā. Māori owners received a total of £1,060 from the Crown as compensa- tion, but lost £40 per year from a 30-year lease of the block.
(9) Following World War II, the Crown took land at Matakaraka that the navy had occupied during the conflict. In 1983, the Crown transferred the land to the Lands and Survey Department, and only revested it in Māori ownership in 10 1990. The Crown purchased other land at Matakaraka for scenic reserve pur- poses without getting the consent of all owners. Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa were
left virtually landless and the majority of their people now live outside their xxxx.
Te whakarāpopototanga o ngā kōrero o mua 15
(1) I mua i te tau 1840, he mea whakaoti ētahi whakawhitinga whenua e ētahi Pāk- ehā me ētahi Māori i roto i xx xxxx o Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. He mea whai wāhi ki te nuinga o aua whakawhitinga ētahi atu iwi i whakapuaki i tō rātou mana i runga i xxxx xxxx. Ko te tikanga me tirotiro te Karauna i te tūturutanga o
aua whakawhitinga i ngā tau mai i 1840, engari i te nuinga o ngā wā kīhai i oti, 20
nā tōna āwangawanga kei whakanuia te rīriri i waenga iwi. I ngā tau o 1850, i tirotiro te Karauna i ētahi o ngā kerēme whenua o Mangōnui, engari kīhai i tir- otirohia ētahi atu. Ahakoa e nohoia xxx te nuinga o ēnei poraka e Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa, i rahua e te Karauna te āta whai whakaaro ki ngā pānga tuku iho o Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. 25
(2) E ai ki te Karauna kua whakanoatia ngā kokoraho tuku iho katoa mehemea kua whakaūngia te whakawhitinga e tētahi kaikōmihana whenua. I riro i a ia te ran- gatiranga o tata ki te 11 000 eka o ngā whenua tuku iho o Ngatikahu ki Whan- garoa nā xxxx kaupapahere whenua “tuwhene”. Kīhai i rangona i ngā wā xxxxx
xxx taunakitanga e pā xxx ki aua whakawhitinga i ngā uiuitanga tuwhera, wātea 30
hoki ki te iwi whānui.
(3) I aru te Karauna i te tau 1841 kia whakatauria he wenewene i waenga i ētahi rangatira tokorua nā te tango i ō rāua pānga i ngā whenua i waenga i Mangōnui, Taemaro me Otangaroa. Ahakoa i whai xxxx xxx whenua tuku iho o Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa ki aua whakawhitinga, kāhore he taunakitanga e wha- 35 kaatu xxx xxx i uru mai ai a Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa ki aua whakawhitinga, i rawaka anō hoki tā te Karauna tirotiro i ō rātou pānga tuku iho.
(4) I te tau 1863, i haina te Karauna i te hokonga o Mangōnui ko te whakatau i ngā kerēme Māori e toe xxx i te takiwā o Mangōnui ki te rāwhiti te pūtake. I wha-
xxxx xx Karauna ki te whakawehe i Taemaro me Waiaua hei rāhuitanga Māori, 40
engari i whakaitingia te rahi o te rāhuitanga Taemaro, me te kati i ētahi wāhi e nohoia xxx, e tāmatangia xxx e Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. He mea kerēme i muri atu e tētahi kaipetihana nō Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa i whai wāhi anake he
Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill Part 1 cl 8
2 000 eka pea o te whenua i Kopupene ki te hokonga o Mangōnui e 22 000 eka pea te rahi.
(5) Nā te whakatūnga o te Kōti Whakawā Whenua Māori i te tau 1865 te mana whenua tuku iho o te Māori i whakarerekē mā te tuku i te rangatiranga takitahi- tanga. I xxxxxx te poraka Motukahakaha e 500 eka te rahi ki ētahi rangatira 5 Māori tokorua, ā, ka hokona atu i muri atu ki hunga kē. I tuku te Kōti Whaka-
wā Whenua Māori i te kokoraho Māori ki te poraka Xxxxxxx 977 eka, engari i whakakorea taua kokoraho whai xxx xxx i xxxx whakatau he whenua Karauna a Xxxxxxx.
(6) I whiwhi kokoraho te Māori ki te poraka Taemaro e 3 990 eka i te tau 1870, ā, 10 e takoto xxx xxxx poraka i roto i ngā paenga o te hokonga o Mangōnui o te tau 1863. He mea whakapono te Karauna xxxx xxxx poraka, engari horekau i tae ki
te whakawākanga a te kōti. I muri atu i tuku atu ētahi Māori i te kokoraho ki Taemaro mō tētahi rāhuitanga rahi ake e 99 eka i Taemaro me tētahi anō rāhui- tanga e 649 eka i Waimahana. I whakamana te Karauna i te Ture Karāti o Tai- 15 maro me Waimahana i te tau 1874, i whakamanahia ai te Kāwana ki te whakatū
i ngā rāhuitanga e 2. I tauria e te Ture te rāhuitanga o Taemaro ki ngā tāngata e 6, me te rāhuitanga o Waimahana ki ngā tāngata 10.
(7) I noho a Taemaro he take tautohetohe ki a Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa, me tā rā-
tou kerēme i uruhina rātou ki te tuku atu i te poraka. I whakakore ngā āpiha o te 20 Karauna nā rātou a Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa i uruhi ki te tuku i te poraka. I
auau tonu ā Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa tuku petihana ki te Karauna mō ngā whenua “tuwhene”, me ngā whakawhitinga o Taemaro me Takerau.
(8) I muri i tā ngā āpiha o te Karauna tono i a rātou ki te takoha i xx xxxx i pikiniki
ai a Rore Ranfurly hei rāhuitanga tirohanga, he mea tuku e Motukiwi Hone Tua 25 me ētahi atu nō Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa tata ki te 10 eka mō taua pūtake. Heoi
anō, i whakatau rawa te Karauna ki te tango i te 706 eka mō te Rāhuitanga Tir- ohanga o Ranfurly Bay, ā, i roto i taua tangohanga whenua ko ētahi wāhitapu me ngā urupā hira o Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa. I whiwhi ngā rangatira Māori i
te £1,060 i te Karauna hei paremata, engari i ngaro te £40 i te tau i tētahi rīhi- 30 tanga 30 tau xx xxx o te poraka.
(9) Whai xxx xxx i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, i tango te Karauna i te whenua i Matakaraka i noho ai xx xxxx moana i te wā o te pakanga. I te tau 1983, i wha- kawhitia ngā whenua e te Karauna ki te Tari Rūri Whenua, me te whakataka
anō ki raro i te rangatiratanga o te Māori i te tau 1990 anake. I hoko te Karauna 35 i ētahi atu whenua i Matakaraka mō te hanga rāhuitanga tirohanga me te kore whiwhi whakaaetanga i ngā rangatira katoa. Ka mutu kua tata kore nei ngā whenua o Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa, ā, e noho xxx te nuinga o te iwi i waho i tō rātou xxxx ināianei.
Part 1 cl 9 Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill
Acknowledgements | ||
(1) | The Crown acknowledges that it failed to deal with the long-standing grievan- ces of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa in an appropriate way, and that recognition of these grievances is long overdue. | |
(2) | The Crown acknowledges that, in approving pre-Treaty land transactions, issu- ing grants to settlers for some of these lands, and retaining 11 000 acres of “surplus land” from transactions in the Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa xxxx, it— | 5 |
(a) failed to consider the customary rights and interests of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa in these lands; and | ||
(b) failed to assess the impact of the alienation of these lands on Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa; and | 10 | |
(c) failed to survey most of these lands. | ||
The Crown acknowledges that these failures breached Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles. | ||
(3) | The Crown acknowledges that— | 15 |
(a) Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa have long disputed the extent of the Crown’s 1863 Mangonui purchase; and | ||
(b) the Crown did not challenge the Native Land Court’s 1870 award to Māori of nearly 4 000 acres at Taemaro within the period provided in the native land laws for appealing court decisions; and | 20 | |
(c) the Māori owners of Xxxxxxx subsequently protested that the Crown co- erced them into surrendering the title for the block in return for reserves of approximately 750 acres at Taemaro and Waimahana; and | ||
(d) the Taemaro Reserve did not include all areas occupied and cultivated by Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa; and | 25 | |
(e) the Crown’s failure to ensure Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa retained adequate reserves within the boundaries of the Mangonui purchase breached Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles. | ||
(4) | The Crown acknowledges that— | |
(a) the operation and impact of the native land laws, in particular the award- ing of the important Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa blocks of Taemaro, Taupo, Matakaraka B, and Motukahakaha to individuals rather than iwi or hapū, made Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa lands more susceptible to partition, frag- mentation, and alienation; and | 30 | |
(b) this contributed to the erosion of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa tribal struc- tures, which were based on collective tribal custodianship of land. The Crown’s failure to protect the tribal structures of Ngatikahu ki Whangar- oa was a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles. | 35 |
Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa Claims Settlement Bill Part 1 cl 9
(5) The Crown acknowledges that the compulsory taking of more than 700 acres for a scenic reserve at Ranfurly Bay in 1919—
(a) caused Ngāti Kaitangata to lose many sites of significance and important urupā and wāhi tapu sites, including an urupā which was partitioned from the surrounding land by the Native Land Court in 1917; and 5
(b) deprived the owners of the significant income they had expected to re- ceive from a 30-year lease of this land; and
(c) was excessive and therefore a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(6) The Crown acknowledges that it took 6 acres at Matakaraka in 1946 for public 10
works, which it retained long after the land was no longer used for the purpose for which it was acquired, and only returned the land in 1990 following appeals from descendants of the block’s former owners.
(7) The Crown acknowledges that it continued negotiations to purchase Matakara-
ka B despite a meeting of assembled owners informing the Crown in 1949 that 15
they wished to retain this land. In 1958, the majority of Matakaraka B was de- clared Crown land after a small number of owners had approved a Crown offer at an assembled owners’ meeting in 1952.
(8) The Crown acknowledges that the cumulative effect of its acts and omissions, including Crown purchases, public works takings, and the operation and impact 20
of the native land laws, left Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa virtually landless. The Crown’s failure to ensure that Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa retained sufficient land for their present and future needs was a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Trea- ty of Waitangi and its principles.

Apology | ||
The text of the apology offered by the Crown to Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa, as set out in the deed of settlement, is as follows: | 15 | |
(a) The Crown makes the following apology to the whānau, hapū, and iwi of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa, to your tūpuna, and to your mokopuna: | ||
(b) The Crown apologises for its failure to honour its obligations to Ngatika- hu ki Whangaroa under Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi. The | 20 | |
Crown has taken too long to address appropriately your long-standing and acutely felt grievances, and recognises that this failure has adversely affected generations of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa: | ||
(c) The Crown profoundly apologises for the hurt and ongoing grievance it caused Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa by taking surplus lands and its pro- | 25 | |
longed investigation of pre-Treaty land transactions, the adverse impact of native land laws on Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa lands and the Crown’s taking of lands from Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa for public works and scenery preservation. The Crown is deeply sorry that the cumulative ef- fects of its actions have deprived Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa of important | 30 | |
sites, wāhi tapu and urupā of your tūpuna and left you virtually landless: | ||
(d) The Crown has promoted injurious laws and policies that undermined Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa wellbeing, and disrespected Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa rangatiratanga. For its acts which contributed to the loss of Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa autonomy and damaged Ngatikahu ki Whan- | 35 | |
garoa’s tribal structures the Crown is deeply sorry: | ||
(e) The Crown seeks to atone for past injustices it has inflicted upon you. Through this settlement, the Crown hopes to restore its honour and re- lieve Ngatikahu ki Whangaroa’s justified sense of grievance. The Crown looks forward to forging a new and enduring relationship with Ngatika- | 40 | |
hu ki Whangaroa based on good faith, mutual respect, partnership and the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi. |
