The Crown signed a deed settling historical Treaty claims of Heretaunga Tamatea. The iwi had been left virtually landless by large-scale Crown land purchasing. The package combined an agreed historical account, acknowledgment and apology, cultural redress, and financial and commercial redress. The Crown itself stated the package could not fully compensate the iwi. Recording that limit matters: negotiated settlement has value, but finality clauses and capped financial packages may leave broader intergenerational and collective harms unrepaired.
