Whanganui Iwi and the Crown signed Ruruku Whakatupua, settling historical Treaty claims connected to the river. Redress included NZ$80 million plus NZ$1 million for implementation, cultural recognition, and a governance structure with Crown and iwi-appointed guardians for Te Awa Tupua. The deed recognized the river as an indivisible whole, reflecting iwi relationships and responsibilities. The settlement was a negotiated remedy and did not erase the Crown's historical conduct or all unresolved claims.
