Ngāti Maru and the Crown signed a deed settling historical Treaty claims. It included an apology and acknowledgements, NZ$30 million in financial and commercial redress and vesting of 16 sites of cultural significance. The iwi had been left virtually landless and dispersed through Crown actions and omissions. Pandemic restrictions prevented many members from attending the signing, so the Crown later delivered the apology separately in the iwi's rohe and returned land title documents in person. This illustrates why ceremony and community access matter to symbolic repair.
