The Crown and Ngāti Rangitihi signed a deed including an apology and over NZ$11 million in financial and commercial redress, together with vesting of 19 culturally significant sites. The Crown also acknowledged pollution of the Tarawera River and established an iwi-government restoration strategy group to support the river catchment's wellbeing. This combines material redress, place-based recognition and environmental restoration. It does not transform negotiated settlement into full compensation for historical land loss or ecological damage.
