The Act received Royal assent and placed the Crown's acknowledgements and apology to Ngāti Pūkenga in statute. It gives effect to cultural redress, including jointly vested mountain properties to be administered by a management body, and commercial redress. The statutory account acknowledges Crown responsibility for the Tauranga war and confiscation, and the loss of land, access to resources and development opportunities. Legislation makes the apology part of the public record, though the statute also makes the historical claims settlement final subject to specified exceptions.
