The Crown and Whakatōhea signed a deed with an agreed historical account and apology, NZ$100 million in financial, cultural and commercial funds, vesting of 33 culturally significant sites, transfer of 18 Crown properties and natural resource and conservation arrangements. The settlement addresses land confiscation, displacement, language suppression and harm to traditional food sources. The deed preserves the Waitangi Tribunal’s ability to make findings on historical claims and recommendations on post-1992 claims, an unusual qualification. It will take effect after settlement legislation.
