Ngāti Pūkenga Claims Settlement Bill

Government Bill

As reported from the Māori Affairs Committee

Commentary

Recommendation

The Māori Affairs Committee has examined the Ngāti Pūkenga Claims Settlement Bill and recommends that it be passed with the amendments shown.

Introduction

The bill would give effect to the deed of settlement signed by the Crown and Ngāti Pūkenga, agreeing to the final settlement of the historical Treaty of Waitangi claims of Ngāti Pūkenga.

Ngāti Pūkenga’s historical claims relate to the Crown-initiated military conflict in Tauranga in 1864, which was in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles. The claims also include the Crown’s raupatu (confiscation of land), which extinguish- ed all of Ngāti Pūkenga’s customary interests in Tauranga, and its failure to protect Ngāti Pūkenga tribal interests.

Part 1 of the bill includes a summary of the historical account, acknowledgements, and an apology from the Crown. Part 2 deals with cultural redress, and Part 3 sets out commercial redress.

The bill includes only those parts of the redress in the settlement package that require legislative authority. The deed of settlement sets out, in full, the redress provided to Ngāti Pūkenga to settle all of its historical Treaty of Waitangi claims.

This commentary covers the settlement issues we considered and several technical amendments that we recommend to the bill.

Right of first refusal properties

Te Tāwharau o Ngāti Pūkenga (Te Tāwharau) is the post-settlement governance entity mandated to manage the redress received as part of Ngāti Pūkenga’s settlement. Te

2 Ngāti Pūkenga Claims Settlement Bill Commentary

Xxxxxxxx submitted that clause 103, which would provide for a Right of First Refusal (RFR) landowner to dispose of its RFR land as a gift for charitable purposes, should be removed from the bill.

Clause 103 would enable the Crown to return land to people who had gifted it to the Crown, or to gift the land to a charitable organisation that wished either to create, or to take over, a Crown operation for charitable purposes.

Te Tāwharau said that obtaining the RFR properties in question was the result of a strategic decision to seek fewer but higher-quality properties, and followed complex negotiations with other Tauranga Moana iwi. Te Tāwharau submitted that the clause is appropriate in some circumstances, such as the Ngāi Tahu and Tainui settlements, which contain a blanket RFR over land owned by the Crown. However, Te Tāwharau submitted that the clause’s provisions unduly prejudice Ngāti Pūkenga, which is re- ceiving only a proportion of eligible Crown properties.

Xx Xxxxxxxx argued that the clause is unfair because:

• the RFR properties in question were not gifted to the Crown

• other Crown-owned land continues to be available for charitable purposes

• the Crown is not acting in good faith when it offers these lands as redress but may ignore this redress in favour of any charitable organisation it decides should receive the land instead, consequently placing the land out of reach of the iwi.

We acknowledge the work that the Office of Treaty Settlements has undertaken in re- sponse to Te Tāwharau’s concerns, including consulting with the Deputy Commis- sioner for Crown Lands and Land Information New Zealand.

Some of us agree with the concerns raised by the submitter and suggested that the land be offered to iwi before it is offered to a charitable trust. However, we were ad- vised that RFR provisions do not allow for RFR land to be disposed to another party on more favourable terms. This means that the land could not be gifted to a charitable trust if it had not been gifted to iwi first.

We note that clause 103 would enable the RFR landowner to continue its duty to de- liver programmes and initiatives that would benefit all New Zealanders. For example, the clause may allow the RFR landowner to gift the land to a kura kaupapa for the purpose of running a school.

We also observe that this clause has been included in every settlement with RFR pro- visions from and including the Ngāi Tahu settlement in 1997. In addition, the Ngāti Pūkenga deed to amend, which inserted the RFR, contained this provision. Removal of clause 103 would be inconsistent with the signed deed.

While removing this clause may be unfair to groups that have already settled, it is the view of the committee that a charitable organisation should not be preferred over iwi, unless it is a charitable trust of that iwi. There does not appear to be a strong rationale for the inclusion of this clause in this settlement. We recommend that a comprehen- sive review of its effectiveness be conducted.

Commentary Ngāti Pūkenga Claims Settlement Bill 3

After considering the concerns raised by the submitter and the advice provided, we recommend retaining clause 103 of the bill.

8	Acknowledgements
	General acknowledgements
(1)	The Crown acknowledges that the Ngāti Pūkenga rangatira Xx Xxx o Rehua
	made a commitment to te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and the rela-
	tionship with the Crown that flowed from it. The Crown further acknowledges	15
	that Ngāti Pūkenga have always maintained this commitment through to the
	present day.
(2)	The Crown acknowledges—
	(a) that, despite the promise of te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi,
	many Crown actions created long-standing grievances for Ngāti Pūken-	20
	ga; and
	(b) that the Crown failed to deal in an appropriate way with grievances
	raised by successive generations of Ngāti Pūkenga; and
	(c) that recognition of Ngāti Pūkenga grievances is long overdue.
	War in Tauranga	25
(3)	The Crown acknowledges that—
	(a) Ngāti Pūkenga, as an iwi, did not take part in the war in Tauranga be-
	cause they were committed to upholding te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty
	of Waitangi; and
	(b) the Crown was ultimately responsible for the outbreak of war in Tau-	30
	ranga in 1864 and its actions were a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi/the
	Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
	Tauranga confiscation/raupatu
(4)	The Crown acknowledges that, despite leading Te Tāwera and Ngāti Pūkenga
	to believe their interests would be scrupulously respected, the confiscation/	35
	raupatu at Tauranga Moana and the Tauranga District Lands Acts 1867 and
	1868 unjustly extinguished the customary title of Te Tāwera and Ngāti Pūken-

Ngāti Pūkenga Claims Settlement Bill Part 1 cl 8

ga in the land within the confiscation district, and breached Te Tiriti o Xxx- xxxxx/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.

(5) The Crown acknowledges that its confiscation/raupatu at Tauranga Moana left Ngāti Pūkenga increasingly dependent on tuku whenua lands (lands received through customary transfer) outside of Tauranga for their support, and that the 5 wish Xx Xxx o Rehua expressed in his ōhākī for all Ngāti Pūkenga at Manaia to return to Tauranga Moana has not been realised.

(6) The Crown also acknowledges that—

(a) it returned just 98.5 acres of the Tauranga confiscation block to 3 Ngāti Pūkenga individuals; and 10

(b) it did not offer the same opportunity to Ngāti Pūkenga to pursue their an- cestral claim to the greater Otawa block, which included the Otawa, Ngāpeke, Pāpāmoa, and Mangatawa blocks, that it offered others, and in so doing it failed to acknowledge the ancestral claim of Ngāti Pūkenga at

Tauranga Moana; and 15

(7) The Crown further acknowledges that the confiscation/raupatu and the subse- quent enactment of the Tauranga District Lands Acts 1867 and 1868—

(a) deprived Ngāti Pūkenga of wāhi tapu, access to natural resources, and 20

opportunities for development at Tauranga Moana; and

(b) prevented Ngāti Pūkenga from exercising mana and rangatiratanga over land and resources within Tauranga Moana; and

with their long connections with their customary lands, including wāhi 25

tapu, natural resources, and other sites in Tauranga Moana and marginal- ised Ngāti Pūkenga, as an iwi in Tauranga Moana.

Te Puna-Katikati purchase

(8) The Crown acknowledges that it failed to actively protect Ngāti Pūkenga inter-

ests in lands that Ngāti Pūkenga wished to retain when the Crown initiated the 30

purchase of Te Puna and Katikati blocks in 1864 without investigating the rights of Ngāti Pūkenga or involving Ngāti Pūkenga in purchase negotiations and completed the purchase despite Ngāti Pūkenga opposition, and this failure was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.

Native land laws 35

(9) The Crown acknowledges that—

(a) the operation and impact of the native land laws at Tauranga Moana, Manaia, Maketū, and Pakikaikutu, in particular, the awarding of land to individual Ngāti Pūkenga rather than to iwi or hapū, made those lands more susceptible to partition, fragmentation, and alienation. This con- 40

Part 1 cl 8 Ngāti Pūkenga Claims Settlement Bill

tributed to the further erosion of the traditional tribal structures of Ngāti Pūkenga, which were based on collective tribal and hapū custodianship of land. This had a prejudicial effect on Ngāti Pūkenga and was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles; and

(b) it did not, until 1894, provide any means in the native land law legis- 5 lation for a form of collective title enabling Ngāti Pūkenga to administer

and utilise their lands, but by that time title to much Ngāti Pūkenga land had been awarded to individual Ngāti Pūkenga; and

(c) the failure to provide a legal means for the collective administration of Ngāti Pūkenga land was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of 10 Waitangi and its principles.

(10) The Crown acknowledges that—

(a) Ngāti Pūkenga reasonably believed that the 8 individuals to whom the Native Land Court awarded title of Manaia 1 and 2 in 1871 were repre- sentatives of the hapū of Ngāti Pūkenga; and 15

(b) the Native Land Court awarded the lands of Ngāti Whakina at Manaia 1 and 2 in 1889 to a successor of one of the individual owners despite the opposition to this award by Ngāti Pūkenga; and

(c) the Crown purchased Manaia 1 and 2 in 1891 from the individual owner recognised under the native land laws, leaving Ngāti Whakina landless; 20

and

(d) by allowing that individual owner to sell hapū lands, the native land legislation did not reflect the Crown’s obligation to actively protect the interests of Ngāti Whakina in Manaia 1 and 2, and this was a breach of

te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles. 25

(11) The Crown acknowledges that between 1921 and 1932 it purchased a large area of land at Manaia from individual owners despite 2 meetings of the assem- bled owners of that land refusing to even consider the Crown’s offer.

Pakikaikutu coastal road

(12) The Crown acknowledges that its taking of land for the coastal road at Pakikai- 30 kutu severed the Ngāti Pūkenga kāinga at Pakikaikutu from the sea, and that

this has caused great distress for Ngāti Pūkenga.

Surveys at Manaia

(13) The Crown acknowledges that Ngāti Pūkenga were deprived of nearly 320 acres of their land at Manaia when the Crown took this land to pay for surveys. 35 The Crown further acknowledges that the 320 acres included approximately 35 acres for surveys that were never carried out, and this was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.

Ngāti Pūkenga Claims Settlement Bill Part 1 cl 8

Maketū consolidation scheme

(14) The Crown acknowledges that the Maketū consolidation scheme carried out by the Crown resulted in Ngāti Pūkenga losing interests in some of the land to which they had customary connections and acquiring interests in land to which

they had lesser connections. 5

Tauranga development scheme

(15) The Crown acknowledges that its administration of the Tauranga development scheme deprived Ngāti Pūkenga of effective control of a significant part of their land for many years. The Crown also acknowledges that Ngāti Pūkenga

did not receive all the benefits they were led to expect from the development 10

scheme and many owners effectively lost the opportunity to live on and use their land under the development scheme.

Uneconomic interests

(16) The Crown acknowledges that, between 1953 and 1974, legislation empowered

the Māori Trustee to compulsorily acquire Ngāti Pūkenga land interests that the 15

Crown considered uneconomic. The Crown acknowledges that this was in breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles and de- prived Ngāti Pūkenga of a direct link to their turangawaewae.

Land status changes

(17) The Crown acknowledges that the compulsory status changes to Māori land 20

titles carried out under the Māori Affairs Amendment Act 1967 weakened the connection of many Ngāti Pūkenga to their turangawaewae.

Insufficiency of land

(18) The Crown acknowledges that it failed to ensure that Ngāti Pūkenga were left

with sufficient land at Tauranga for their present and future needs and that this 25

failure was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its prin- ciples.

Environment

(19) The Crown acknowledges—

(a) that Ngāti Pūkenga describe Tauranga Moana and the Maketū and Little 30

Waihi estuaries as significant taonga and sources of spiritual and mater- ial well-being; and

(b) that Ngāti Pūkenga also describe Whangarei Harbour as of great import- ance to them; and

(d) that environmental degradation has been a source of distress to Ngāti Pū- kenga because of adverse impacts on—

(i) Tauranga Moana, especially the Waitao awa and Rangataua arm of

the harbour and the Maketū and Little Waihi estuaries; and 40

Part 1 cl 9 Ngāti Pūkenga Claims Settlement Bill

(ii) the land, awa, and harbour at Manaia; and

(iii) the quantity and quality of species at those locations that were im- portant to Ngāti Pūkenga.

9 Apology

The text of the apology offered by the Crown to Ngāti Pūkenga, as set out in 5 the deed of settlement, is as follows:

“(a) The Crown makes this apology to Ngāti Pūkenga and their ancestors and descendants.

(b) The Crown unreservedly apologises for bringing war to Tauranga Moana

and unjustly extinguishing all customary title to land within the Tau- 10 ranga Moana confiscation district. The Crown is sorry that Ngāti Pūken-

ga did not receive the same opportunity as others to protect and nurture their interests in Tauranga Moana after the raupatu, and that Ngāti Pū- kenga were left increasingly dependent on lands outside Tauranga

Moana for their support. For the Crown, the marginalisation of Ngāti Pū- 15 kenga in Tauranga Moana, and the harm this caused, are sources of pro- found regret.

(c) The Crown apologises for exacerbating this harm by consistently failing to respect the rangatiratanga of Ngāti Pūkenga in their remaining lands.

(d) The Crown acknowledges the suffering it caused Ngāti Pūkenga through 20 its breaches of te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi. This settle- ment will, the Crown sincerely hopes, mark the beginning of a new rela- tionship between the Crown and Ngāti Pūkenga that is founded on re- spect for te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.”
