The purpose of this Act is to give effect to certain provisions of the deed of settlement, which is a deed to settle the historical claims of Waitaha.

This Act binds the Crown.

This section is a guide to the overall scheme and effect of this Act, but does not affect the interpretation or application of this Act or of the deed of settlement.

This Part—

Part 2 provides for cultural redress, including—

Part 3 provides for commercial redress, including—

There are 4 schedules, as follows:

The text of the acknowledgements made by the Crown, as set out in the deed of settlement, is as follows:

The Crown acknowledges that Waitaha, an ancient iwi descending from Hei and Waitaha of the waka Te Arawa, has long sought acknowledgement and redress for its grievances. The Crown has failed to deal with these grievances in an appropriate way. The Crown hereby recognises the legitimacy of the historical grievances of Waitaha and makes the following acknowledgements.

The Crown acknowledges that the coming of war to the Bay of Plenty in the 1860s split Waitaha internally. Individuals and hapū were compelled to align themselves with different sides in the conflict and this caused discord and enmity within the iwi, and in the relationships Waitaha had with other iwi and with the Crown.

The Crown acknowledges that—

The Crown acknowledges that—

The Crown acknowledges that, taken together, the Tauranga confiscation/raupatu and the subsequent Tauranga District Lands Acts 1867 and 1868—

The Crown further acknowledges that it—

The Crown acknowledges that the confiscation/raupatu and the subsequent Tauranga District Lands Acts 1867 and 1868—

The Crown acknowledges that in its effects on Waitaha, the confiscation/raupatu and the subsequent Tauranga District Lands Acts 1867 and 1868 were unjust, indiscriminate, and a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.

The Crown acknowledges that—

The Crown acknowledges that the treatment that Waitaha received from the Crown during the bush campaign was unreasonable, inflicted considerable unnecessary harm on Waitaha, and was a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.

The Crown acknowledges that—

The Crown acknowledges that it exploited inter-iwi competition over Te Puke block and used outstanding survey charges and the threat of mortgage to pressure Waitaha into selling the land. The Crown used the Native Lands Act 1877 to prevent Waitaha from selling the land to private parties. The combined effect of these aggressive purchase techniques meant that the Crown failed actively to protect the interests of Waitaha in the land they wished to retain and this was a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.

The Crown acknowledges further land was lost to Waitaha during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries through purchases by private parties of land originally intended to be inalienable, additional Crown purchases and public works takings. These losses came at a time when Waitaha were already experiencing great economic hardship.

The Crown acknowledges that the cumulative effect of its actions has rendered Waitaha virtually landless. By 1900, members of the iwi held only a fraction—approximately 2.5 per cent—of their former rohe. While the land and resources alienated from Waitaha have benefited the nation as a whole, the reserves created for Waitaha from Te Puke block, including “Manoeka”, were insufficient to support or sustain the iwi’s members. This forced some Waitaha to follow their other tribal affiliations, weakening the identity of Waitaha as an iwi. The Crown’s failure to ensure that Waitaha were left with sufficient land for their present and future needs was a breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.

The Crown acknowledges that the cumulative effect of its breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles undermined the physical, cultural, social, economic and spiritual well-being of Waitaha to the point where the iwi itself nearly vanished. The suffering and marginalisation caused to Waitaha over the generations have continued to the present day.

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

The Crown makes the following apology to the descendants of Hei and Waitaha known as Waitaha.

The Crown is deeply sorry that it has failed to fulfil its obligations to Waitaha under Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi.

The Crown’s acts and omissions have severed you from almost all of your traditional lands and driven your ancient iwi to the point where it nearly ceased to exist. For these acts and omissions, and for the suffering they caused and continue to cause, the Crown apologises.

The Tauranga confiscation/raupatu was unjust and Hakaraia Mahika opposed it. For this, the Crown labelled him a rebel. In seeking to punish him, the Crown destroyed your houses, crops and livestock, and ultimately took his life. The Crown inflicted further punishment even after his death by unfairly withholding a large amount of land from you. For these misdeeds the Crown apologises to Waitaha and to Hakaraia.

The stigma of rebellion has diminished the mana of Waitaha and forced deep divisions among you, and between you and your neighbours. The Crown recognises that this burden has pressed most heavily on the descendants of Hakaraia, but has affected all of Waitaha. The Crown regrets that you have been forced to bear this stigma, and wishes the mana and reputation of Hakaraia and Waitaha to be restored. Accordingly, the Crown apologises for the part it played in placing this burden upon you.

The Crown wishes to restore its own tarnished honour too and hopes that this apology will mark the beginning of a stronger relationship with Waitaha, a relationship based on trust, co-operation, and respect for Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi. Accordingly, the Crown echoes the following Waitaha whakatauki:

It is the intention of Parliament that the provisions of this Act be interpreted in a manner that best furthers the agreements expressed in the deed of settlement.
