The Titoki ridge rising from the marine shelf in the north-west signals interface with Ngāti Tama.

From here, the Titoki Stream outlines the extremities of tūpuna mana as far north as the Mangahia Stream from which an easterly direction is struck to Huanui, then north-east to Waitara-iti.

The rohe then finds a natural eastern definition in the Waitara River as the river flows southward to the Pouiatoa pre‐ cinct.
From here the border extends further south and then north-west along the Waitara River to a point where the river connects with the Makara Stream.

The confines of mana whenua are then traced in a northerly direction skirting slightly west of the Poukekewa, Poutotara, and Pukemai Streams.

The Manga‐ hewa Stream then provides an outline for the duration of the course to the coast.
The old settlement in the district of Te Rau o te Huia was bounded by the Waiau River and its remains mark the area of Ngāti Mutunga’s traditional southern boundary: (4) The area of the Ngāti Mutunga rohe described above was approximately 63 200 hectares (156 000 acres) according to a digital map calculation in 2003: Taranaki wars (5) The Crown proclaimed martial law throughout Taranaki on 22 February 1860.

The Taranaki wars of 1860–61 and 1863–69 followed.


During the course of the wars, the Crown built redoubts at Urenui, Wai-iti, and Papatiki to secure mili‐ tary occupation of the surrounding land.

These redoubts also provided security for military settlements that were established on confiscated land.
The Urenui and Wai-iti redoubts were established on Ngāti Mutunga pā sites, with Urenui being one of the principal kāinga of Ngāti Mutunga: Confiscation In 1863, the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863 was enacted.

This Act provi‐ ded for the confiscation, by the Crown, of lands of Māori whom the Crown assessed to have been in “rebellion” against the authority of the Queen.
On 2 September 1865, the Governor declared the confiscation district of “Nga‐ tiawa” and designated “Ngatiawa Coast” as an eligible site for settlement.

The Ngatiawa Coast eligible site took in the entire rohe of Ngāti Mutunga.
All of (6) 6 Version as at 12 April 2022 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Preamble the land of Ngāti Mutunga was confiscated, despite the declaration that land of “loyal inhabitants” would be taken only where “absolutely necessary for the security of the country”: Compensation Court (7) A Compensation Court was set up under the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863 to compensate some of those whose lands were confiscated by the Crown.
The compensation process and its outcomes added to the uncertainty, distress, and confusion among the people of Ngāti Mutunga as to where they were to live and whether they had security of title.

Those considered to be “rebels” could not make claims.

All of the Compensation Court awards within the rohe of Ngāti Mutunga were based on out-of-court settlements.

By the time these were made, most of the readily usable land in the north had already been disposed of by the Crown.
These settlements were not properly investigated by the Compensation Court.

All of the awards made by the Compensation Court on the basis of these settlements were made to individuals, rather than to hapū.

Out of the lands confiscated from Ngāti Mutunga, 9 900 acres were awarded to 87 individuals between Te Rau o te Huia and Titoki.

The awards did not reflect customary forms of land tenure and made the land more susceptible to sale.
In 1867, the Crown promised an award of 3 000 acres to the absentee owners from Ngāti Mutunga who had taken up residency in Taranaki since the begin‐ ning of the Compensation Court hearings.

By 1880, the land awarded to the people of Ngāti Mutunga through the compensation process had not been allo‐ cated or granted: Parihaka (8) Before the wars ended, a movement for peace and independence was estab‐ lished at Parihaka under the leadership of Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi.
In 1878, the Government began surveying the central Taranaki district in which the Parihaka block was located.

When the survey neared Māori culti‐ vations, Te Whiti and Tohu introduced a policy of passive resistance to the sur‐ veyors and European settlers who followed.

Ngāti Mutunga and other iwi sup‐ ported this policy.

These passive resistance campaigns led to more than 420 “ploughmen” and 216 “fencers” being arrested.
Most were denied a trial and many prisoners, including people of Ngāti Mutunga, were held in the South Island.

Prison conditions were harsh and included hard labour.

The Ngāti Mutunga person Pitiroi Paekaha was among those who died while in custody: (9) On 5 November 1881, more than 1 500 Crown troops invaded and occupied Parihaka.

Over the following days, some 1 600 Māori were forcibly expelled from the settlement and made to return to their previous homes.
Houses and cultivations were systematically destroyed, and stock was driven away or kil‐ led.

Taranaki Māori assert that women were raped and otherwise molested by the soldiers: 7 Preamble Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Version as at 12 April 2022 (10) The leaders of Parihaka, Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi, were arrested, and held until 1883.
Special legislation provided for their imprisonment with‐ out trial: West Coast Commissions and West Coast Settlement Reserves (11) Two West Coast Commissions were appointed in 1880.

The first was estab‐ lished to inquire into the Compensation Court awards and specific promises made by the Crown to Māori in Taranaki concerning confiscated lands.

The second was established to implement the recommendations of the first.
Almost all of the open coastal land confiscated within the rohe of Ngāti Mutunga had already been allocated to military settlers.

Ngāti Mutunga was left with insuffi‐ cient agricultural land for its present and future needs: (12) Of the land that was returned to Ngāti Mutunga, all was returned under individ‐ ualised title.
Many of the reserves were protected against permanent alienation when granted, but these restrictions were later removed and much of this land was sold: (13) The reserves made by the West Coast Commission were vested in the Public Trustee in trust for Māori owners, with Māori thereby losing legal ownership and control of their lands.

The Public Trustee had full power to sell or lease the alienable reserves, and lease the inalienable ones under terms imposed by stat‐ ute.
The West Coast Settlement Reserves Act 1892 provided for perpetually renewable leases with rent based on the unimproved value of the land: (14) In 1926, the Sim Commission was set up to investigate confiscations under the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863 and subsequent legislation.
The Commis‐ sion’s recommendations for an annuity of £5,000 for all the Taranaki confisca‐ tions and a single payment of £300 for the loss of property at Parihaka were not discussed with the iwi concerned and were never accepted as adequate.

For the first 17 years, the payments were irregular.

The sums due in the early 1930s were not fully paid: Public Works acquisitions (15) The Crown has acquired Ngāti Mutunga land under Public Works legislation, including Okoki Pā and part of Pukemiro Pā.
Both sites are wāhi tapu of par‐ ticular significance to Ngāti Mutunga: Natural resources (16) The access of Ngāti Mutunga to rivers, lakes, forests, swamps, and foreshore has been affected by land loss.
Much of the land adjacent to waterways is held in private ownership preventing Ngāti Mutunga from maintaining a right of access to its traditional fisheries and other food gathering places: Ngāti Mutunga makes submissions to the Waitangi Tribunal (17) The enactment of the Treaty of Waitangi Amendment Act 1985 made it pos‐ sible for Māori to bring claims before the Waitangi Tribunal in respect of acts or omissions on or after 6 February 1840 by, or on behalf of, the Crown that 8 Version as at 12 April 2022 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Preamble were inconsistent with the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Wai‐ tangi): (18) Between 1990 and 1995, the Waitangi Tribunal investigated 21 claims concern‐ ing Taranaki made to the Waitangi Tribunal (the Taranaki Claims).
The Tara‐ naki Claims included claims of Ngāti Mutunga.
A considerable number of sub‐ missions and research reports were filed by Taranaki Māori (including Ngāti Mutunga) with the Waitangi Tribunal in relation to the Taranaki Claims: The Crown’s acknowledgements to Waitangi Tribunal (19) The Crown advised the Waitangi Tribunal, after hearing the claimants’ evi‐ dence, that it considered there was a basis for negotiation with claimants and that the Crown had invited claimants to meet with it for that purpose.
The Crown asked the Waitangi Tribunal to issue an interim report in order to assist the negotiations process between the Crown and claimants (including Ngāti Mutunga): (20) The Waitangi Tribunal asked the Crown to indicate those matters upon which it would not wish to give evidence before the Tribunal.
The Crown provided this advice to the Waitangi Tribunal on 28 November 1995 in its Interim Response (which is Document 2.108 on the Waitangi Tribunal’s Record of Inquiry for Taranaki): (21) The Crown acknowledged to the Waitangi Tribunal in its Interim Response that— (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) the Waitara purchase and the wars that followed constituted an injustice and were, therefore, in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Wai‐ tangi) and its principles; and the confiscation of land, as it occurred in Taranaki, also constituted an injustice and was, therefore, in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles; and the confiscation had a severe impact upon the welfare, economy, and development of the iwi of Taranaki; and in general terms, the delays in setting aside reserves contributed to the adverse effects of the confiscation; and events relating to the implementation of the confiscation leading to the invasion of Parihaka in 1881, the invasion itself, and its aftermath con‐ stituted a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles: Interim Taranaki Report of Waitangi Tribunal (22) In June 1996, the Waitangi Tribunal issued an interim report called the “Tara‐ naki Report Kaupapa Tuatahi” (the Interim Taranaki Report) giving its pre‐ liminary views on the Taranaki Claims: (23) The Waitangi Tribunal issued the Interim Taranaki Report— 9 Preamble Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Version as at 12 April 2022 (a) (b) based on the Waitangi
 Tribunal’s inquiry up to the date of the report (and noted that the Crown had yet to be heard on many matters raised); and in order to expedite negotiations for a settlement of the Taranaki Claims (including the claims of Ngāti Mutunga): Views of the Waitangi Tribunal in the Interim Taranaki Report (24) The Waitangi Tribunal, in the Interim Taranaki Report, expressed some prelim‐ inary views concerning the Taranaki Claims including that— (a) (b) (c) (d) “they could be the largest in the country.
There may be no others where as many Treaty breaches had equivalent force and effect over a compar‐ able time” (section 1.1); and “we see the claims as standing on 2 major foundations, land deprivation and disempowerment, with the latter being the main.

By “disempower‐ ment”, we mean the denigration and destruction of Māori autonomy or self-government” (section 1.4); and “this report has introduced the historical claims of the Taranaki hapū.
It has shown the need for a settlement” (section 12.3.1); and “generous reparation policies are needed to remove the prejudice to Māori, to restore the honour of the Government, to ensure cultural sur‐ vival, and to re-establish effective interaction between the Treaty part‐ ners” (section 12.2): The settlement negotiations with Ngāti Mutunga (25) The Ngāti Mutunga Iwi Authority received in May 1996 a mandate from Ngāti Mutunga to negotiate a deed of settlement with the Crown.
The Crown recog‐ nised the mandate of the Ngāti Mutunga Iwi Authority in November 1996: (26) The Ngāti Mutunga Iwi Authority and the Crown entered into— (a) (b) a terms of negotiation dated 1 July 1997, which specified the scope, objectives, and general procedures for the negotiations; and a heads of agreement dated 24 September 1999 recording that Ngāti Mutunga and the Crown were, in principle, willing to enter into a deed of settlement on the basis of the Crown’s settlement proposal set out in the heads of agreement: (27) Ngāti Mutunga ratified the Crown’s final settlement offer and entered into a deed of settlement on 31 July 2005.
The deed records the agreement between Ngāti Mutunga and the Crown to settle the historical claims of Ngāti Mutunga: Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Mutunga In July 2005, Ngāti Mutunga ratified a new governance arrangement to succeed the Ngāti Mutunga Iwi Authority.

The governance arrangement is a private trust administered by trustees and known as Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Mutunga.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Mutunga was established by trust deed dated 21 December 2005.
(28) 10 Version as at 12 April 2022 Kupu Whakataki Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Preamble (1) I hainatia te Tiriti o Waitangi, tērā e whakatahia ana i roto i te reo Pākēha me te reo Māori i te Wāhanga Tuatahi o te Ture Tiriti o Waitangi 1975, i te tau 1840: (2) Kei ngā Wāhanga (3) ki te (28) o tēnei Kupu Whakataki ka kitea he whakarāpopototanga o ngā kerēme o nehe o Ngāti Mutunga me te tāhuhu kōrero, kua whakatakotoria ki roto i te whakatau taketake i uru tahi ai a Ngāti Mutunga me te Karauna: Te rohe o Ngāti Mutunga (3) Hei tā ngā kōrero tuku iho o Ngāti Mutunga, kua tāmoua te rohe o Ngāti Mutunga ki ngā tongi whenua, ki ngā tongi kōrero anō hoki.
Ki te tongi i Titoki ki tai, tūtata ana ki a Ngāti Tama ki raro rā.

Kōkiritia te manga o Titoki, poua whakararo ai te mana o ngā tūpuna ki te paenga ki Te Mangahia, ahu atu ki uta rā ki Huanui, pātuki whakararo te rāwhiti atu ki te whakarua ki Waitara-iti.

Kōpiko kau ana ki kō, ki ūta, ki te taha o Waitara, tapatū ake rā, riporipo ai ki Pouiatoa.

I konei ka piki whakarunga noa ka rere whakararo ki tai ki te awa o Waitara, tutakitaki atu ki te wai o Makara.
Kātahi ka kōpiko te mana whenua o Ngāti Mutunga ki raro, ahu moroiti atu ke tai o ngā wai riporipo o Poukekewa, o Poutotara, o Pukemai.

Ka rere noa i a Mangahewa puaki atu ai ki tai.


Ko Te Rau o Te Huia, te papa ohaoha hei pou rāhui ki te ia o Waiau, ā, ko tēnei tonu te pou rāhui whakarunga o Ngāti Mutunga: (4) Ko te rohe kua whakatakotohia i runga ake nei, he āhua 63 200 heketea (156 000 eka) tōna rahi, ki te tatauranga a tētehi mapi rorohiko i te tau 2003: Ngā pakanga o Taranaki (5) I te 22 o Hui-Tanguru 1860 i whakpuakina te pānui mō te ture taua ki Taranaki e te Karauna.
Whai muri mai ko ngā pakanga o Taranaki i ngā tau 1860–61, nawhi nāwhai rā ko te pakanga 1863–69.

I taua wā i whakatūngia e te Karauna ētehi pā tūhāhā ki Urenui, ki Wai-iti me Papatiki kia whakanohoia e ia āna hōia ki te whenua hei tiaki i ngā nohoanga hōia i whakaritea i ngā whenua i murua.
I whakatūngia ngā pā tūhāhā o Urenui me Wai-iti i ngā pā o Ngāti Mutunga, ko Urenui tētehi o ngā tino noninga kumu o Ngāti Mutunga: Muru me te Raupatu Whenua (6) I te tau 1863 i whakamanangia te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni 1863.

Nā te Ture nei i āhei ai te muru i ngā whenua Māori e tirohia ana e te Karauna “i mahi hara” ki te mana o te Kuini.
I te 2 o Mahuru i te tau 1865, i whakapuakina e te Kāwana te takiwā muru raupatu “Ngatiawa”, ā i whakaritea te takiwā “Takutai o Ngatiawa” hei wahi whakanoho manene.

Ka riro te katoa o te rohe o Ngāti Mutunga i te takiwā “Takutai o Ngatiawa”.
I kaingia katoatia te whenua katoa o Ngāti Mutunga e te whakapuakitanga ka kore te whenua o te “hunga harakore” e riro atu, hāunga te wā “hirahira noa mō te marutanga o te motu”: te muru raupatu ahakoa 11 Preamble Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Version as at 12 April 2022 Te Kōti Utunga (7) I whakatūria te Kōti Utunga i raro i te maru o te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni 1863 hei utu i ērā tāngata mō ō rātou whenua i murua e te Karauna.
Maranga ake te whakapuna waru ai, te kohuki, te kōripo o te hinengaro i ō te iwi o Ngāti Mutunga, i te mea kāore rātou i mōhio ki hea rātou noho ai, me he purutanga tā rātou ki ngā taitara.

Kāore te hunga e meatia nei “he tangata tautohetohe” i āhei ki te kawe kerēme.

Ko ngā whakawhiwhinga Kōti Utunga katoa i te rohe o Ngāti Mutunga i ara ake i ngā whakataunga i waho ake o te Kōti.

Hei te wā kua rite te tuku i ngā utunga kōti, kua hokona kētia te whenua pai kei te raki hei mahinga e te Karauna.
Kāore i āta rangahaungia ēnei whakataunga e te Kōti Utunga.

I whakahokia ngā whakawhiwhinga katoa a te Kōti Utunga ki te tangata takitahi, āpā te hapū.

Mai i ngā whenua i murua i waenganui i Te Rau o te Huia me Titoki i whakahokia te 9 900 eka ki ngā tāngata takitahi e 87.

Kāore i whai wāhi ngā whakawhiwhinga nei ki ngā tikanga tūturu mō te whenua, ā, mōrearea te noho o te whenua, kei hokona.
I te tau 1867, i puta te taunaha a te Karauna, ka tukuna e ia te 3 000 eka ki ngā tāngata i hoki mai ki Taranaki i muri mai i te tīmatatanga o te nohoanga tuatahi o te Kōti Utunga.

Tae noa ki te tau 1880, kāhore anō ngā whakawhiwhinga ki ngā tāngata o Ngāti Mutunga kia tukuna, kia tohaina rānei: Parihaka I mua i te otinga o te pakanga, i taketake mai te kaupapa mō te rongomau me te mana motuhake i Parihaka Taranaki, i raro i te rangatiratanga o ngā manu e rua, o Te Whiti-o-Rongomai rāua ko Tohu Kākahi.
I te tau 1878, i tīmata te Kāwanatanga ki te rūri whenua i roto tonu o te takiwā pū o Taranaki.

Ko Parihaka tonu kei tērā takiwā.

I te wā i tata mai ngā mahi rūri whenua ki ngā māra Māori, i whakaurua mai e Te Whiti rāua ko Tohu te kaupapa maungārongo i runga i a rātou, hei tohu whakautu ki ngā kairūri, ki ngā tāngata whai hoki.

Nā Ngāti Mutunga me ētehi atu iwi tēnei kaupapa i tautoko.

Nā ēnei kātū mahi maungārongo i mouhere ai “ngā kaiparau” e 420 me “ngā kaiwhakapai taiepa” e 216.
Kāhore te nuinga o rātou i whakawākia ki te kōti, he tokomaha anō me ngā uri o Ngāti Mutunga i mouhereheretia ki Te Waipounamu.

He wāhi kino te wāhi, he karawhiu i ngā tāngata ki ngā mahi mārō, ki ngā mahi whakauaua tangata.

Koia i pērā nā ngā kaupēhipēhi ka aituatia a Pitiroi Paekaha tētehi o ngā mouhere nō Ngāti Mutunga i te whareherehere: I te 5 o Whiringa-ā-rangi 1881, i whakaekea te pā o Parihaka e ngā hōia neke atu i te 1 500 a te Karauna.

Ka huri ngā rā, ka panaia ngā Māori 1 600.


Ka whakahaua kia hoki atu ki hō rātou kāinga o mua.

Ka turakina ngā whare, ka hokarikaringia ngā māra, ā ka peia atu ngā kararehe, ka patua rānei.

E ai ki ngā kōrero a ngā Māori o Taranaki, i paheratia, i rawekengia ngā wāhine e ngā hōia: (8) (9) 12 Version as at 12 April 2022 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Preamble (10) Ka mouhereheretia ngā manu e rua o Parihaka, a Te Whiti o Rongomai rāua ko Tohu Kākahi taea noatia ki te tau 1883.
Ka puta tētehi hanganga ture motuhake kia mouheretia rāua, hāunga kē te whakawā: Ngā Komihana Tai Hauāuru me ngā Whenua Rāhui o Te Tai Hauāuru (11) E rua ngā Komihana Tai Hauāuru i tohungia i te tau 1880.

Ko te tuatahi i whakaritea ki te tirotiro ki ngā whakawhiwhinga a te Kōti Utunga me ngā kōrero taunaha a te Karauna anō ki ngā Māori o Taranaki e pā ana ki ngā whenua muru.

Ko te tuarua i whakaritea ki te whakatutuki i ngā tūtohutanga o te Komihana tuatahi.
I taua wā kua riro kē ngā mania i te takutai moana i te rohe o Ngāti Mutunga ki te hunga hōia.

Nō reira, kāore i pai te rahi o te whenua i waihotia ki a Ngāti Mutunga hei mahinga māna e ea ai ōna wawata ahuwhenua mō ēnei rangi mō ngā rangi kei te tū: (12) I raro i te tangata takitahi te whenua i hoki mai ai ki a Ngāti Mutunga.
He maha ngā whenua rāhui nei i whakarauhi i te hoko i te wā i tukuna mai, engari nāwhi nā whai rā ka hikina ēnei tōngā, ā, he nui te whenua i hokona: (13) Ko ngā whenua i rāhuitia e te Kōmihana Tai Hauāuru hei whakahokitanga ki te Māori i tukuna kē ki te Kaitiaki Tūmatanui hei tiaki mā ngā Māori nō rātou aua whenua.

Ka ngaro i ngā tāngata nō rātou te whenua te mana whakahaere.
Ka riro ki te Kaitiaki Tūmatanui te mana whakahaere ki te hoko, ki te rīhi rānei i ngā whenua rāhui me te rīhi i ngā whenua motuhake i raro i ngā takotoranga i utaina mai e te Ture.

I raro i te Ture West Coast Settlement Reserves Act 1881 ka whai wāhi ai ngā rīhi pūmou nā runga i ngā whakahekenga mai o ngā utu mō te reti: (14) I te tau 1926 i whakatūria Te Komihana Sim hei tirotiro i ngā murunga i raro i te Ture Whakatau Manene ki Niu Tireni 1863 me ngā hanganga ture i whai muri iho.
I tūtohungia e te Komihana kia £5,000 te nui hei utu mō ngā muru raupatu katoa o Taranaki me tētehi utunga kia £300 mō te ngaromanga o ngā rawa i Parihaka, kīhai i kōrerorero tahi ki te iwi e tika ana nōna aua take, me he tika hoki te rahi o te utunga.
Mō te taha ki te moni ā-tau i ngā tau tīmatatanga 17 he kātū pōraruraru ki te wā hei utunga atu, nā, i ngā tau tōmua o ngā tau 1930 he mea kongakonga noa iho i utua: Ngā hokonga Public Works (15) Kua riro i te Karauna ētehi whenua o Ngāti Mutunga mā ngā hanganga ture mahi tūmatanui pēnei i te pā o Okoki me tētehi wāhanga o te pā o Pukemiro.
E rua e rua he wāhi tapu, he wāhi whakahirahira ki a Ngāti Mutunga: Ngā taonga o te taiao (16) Nā te ngaromanga haere o te whenua kua āraia te haere a Ngāti Mutunga ki ona awa, moana, ngahere, repo me te takutai moana.
Kua aukatingia ētehi o ngā whenua i te taha o ngā awa, ā, kua āraia a Ngāti Mutunga i ona tauranga ika, wāhi hī, wāhi kohikohi kai hoki: 13 Preamble Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Version as at 12 April 2022 Ka whakatakoto a Ngāti Mutunga i āna tāpaetanga kōrero ki mua i te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi (17) Nā te whakamanatanga o te ture Treaty of Waitangi Amendment Act 1985 i ahei ai a Māori ki te tuku kerēme ki te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi e pā ana ki ngā ture, ki ngā hipanga rānei i mahia e te Karauna, mō te Karauna rānei, i muri iho mai i te 6 o Hui-tanguru 1840.
Koia i anga kē ai ērā whakaritenga a te Karauna i ngā mātāpono o Te Tiriti o Waitangi: (18) Mai i te tau 1990 ki te tau 1995 i tirotiro te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi i ngā kerēme e 21 mō Taranaki (ngā Kerēme o Taranaki).

Ka uru ngā kerēme a Ngāti Mutunga ki aua Kerēme o Taranaki.
He tini ngā tāpaetanga me ngā pūrongo rangahau i whakatakotohia e te Māori o Taranaki (ko Ngāti Mutunga hoki i reira) ki mua i te aroaro o te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi e pā ana ki ngā Kerēme o Taranaki: Ko ngā tukunga whakaae a te Karauna ki te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi (19) (20) I muri iho i ngā whakaaturanga a ngā kaikerēme i whakamōhio atu te Karauna ki te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi, ki tōna whakaaro e whai take ana te āta noho me te āta whiriwhiri ki ngā kaikerēme, ā, i tono atu te Karauna kia hui rāua tahi ko ngā kaikerēme mō taua take.
I tonoa te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi e te Karauna kia whakaraua tētehi rīpoata hei āwhina i te huarahi hanga ritenga i waenga i te Karauna rātou ko ngā kaikerēme (ko Ngāti Mutunga hoki tērā): I pātai te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi ki te Karauna kia tohungia ngā take kāore i hiahiatia e ia kia huraina ki te aroaro te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi.
I tuku te Karauna i aua kōrero whakamārama ki te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi i te 28 o Whiringa-ā-rangi 1995 i roto i tana Whakautu Whāiti (arā, ko te Tuhinga Whaimana 2.108 o te Pūrongo Uiui o Taranaki a te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi): (21) I tuku whakaae mai te Karauna ki te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi i tōna Whakautu Whāiti— (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) ka noho te hokonga o Waitara, me ngā pakanga i whai muri iho, hei nawe, oti rā he tūkino i te Tiriti o Waitangi me ōna mātāpono; ā he mea tūkino hoki te hanga o te muru whenua i roto i a Taranaki, ko tōna hua tonu he mea tūkino anō i te Tiriti o Waitangi me ōna mātāpono; ā i taimaha tonu te pānga mai o te muru whenua ki te oranga, ki te ōhanga, ki te whanaketanga hoki o ngā iwi o Taranaki; ā i tōna mutunga, nā te takaroanga o te parepare i ngā wāhinga whenua Māori i kino atu ai ngā hua o te muru; oti rā ko ngā āhuatanga i te whakatinanatanga o te muru i horoa ai a Parihaka i te tau 1881, ko taua horonga tonu me ngā huanga o muri iho i tūkinotia ai te Tiriti o Waitangi me ōna mātāpono: 14 Version as at 12 April 2022 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Preamble Te Pūrongo Whāiti mō Taranaki a te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi (22) I te Pipiri, 1996 i tuku te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi i tētehi purongo whāiti e kīia nei ko “Taranaki Report Kaupapa Tuatahi” (arā ko te Pūrongo Whāiti mō Taranaki) e tāpae ake ana i ōna tirohanga tīmatanga mō ngā Kerēme o Taranaki: (23) I tuku te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi i
 taua Pūrongo Whāiti mō Taranaki— (a) (b) i takea mai te wetewete a te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi i ngā kitenga tae atu ki te wā i puta ai te pūrongo (me tōna mōhio hoki, kāore anō kia rangona ngā tāpaetanga a te Karauna); ā hei whakatere i ngā whiriwhiringa kia puta mai tētehi whakataunga o ngā Kerēme o Taranaki (me ngā kerēme o Ngāti Mutunga): Ngā whakaaro o te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi i roto i te Pūrongo Whāiti mō Taranaki (24) Ko tā te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi, i roto i taua Pūrongo Whāiti mō Taranaki, he whakapuaki i ngā whakaaro tīmatanga mō ngā Kerēme o Taranaki e mea ana— (a) (b) (c) (d) “koia pea ngā kerēme rarahi tonu i tēnei whenua.
Kāore pea he rohe kē atu i ēnei i whēnei ai te tini o ngā tūkinotanga i te Tiriti o Waitangi, i whēnei hoki i te roa o te wā” (wāhanga 1.1); ā “ki tō mātou tirohanga kua rua rawa ngā take matua i ū ai ngā kerēme, koia ko ēnei ko te rironga atu o te whenua, ko te rironga atu o te mana, ā, ko te noho mana kore te mea matua o rāua.
Ko te “rironga atu o te mana” e hua atu ana ki te whakaitinga, ki te kurukurunga o te mana motuhake, o te tino rangatiratanga rānei” (wāhanga 1.4); ā “ko tā tēnei pūrongo, he horanga tuatahi o ngā kerēme a ngā hapū o Taranaki.
Kua whakaaturia te akiaki nei, kia whai whakataunga” (wāhanga 12.3.1); ā “me whakatū huarahi whai kiko, huarahi hāngai tonu e unuhi ai i ngā hanga tāmi i te Māori, e ara ake anō ai te tūnga o te Kāwanatanga, e ora ai ngā ritenga o te Māori, e pūmou ai ngā hunga whai pānga e rua o te Tiriti” (wāhanga 12.2): Ngā whiriwhiringa whakatau taketake me Ngāti Mutunga (25) I te Haratua o te tau 1996 i whai te Ngāti Mutunga Iwi Authority i te mana whakahaere mai i ngā uri o Ngāti Mutunga kia whiriwhirihia tētehi whakatau taketake ki te Karauna.
I aro atu te Karauna ki te mana whakahaere o te Ngāti Mutunga Iwi Authority i te marama o Whiringa-ā-rangi 1996: (26) Ka anga tahi te Ngāti Mutunga Iwi Authority me te Karauna ki roto i— 15 s 1 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Version as at 12 April 2022 (a) (b) tētehi tātai whiriwhiringa i te 1 o Hōngongoi 1997 i tohua te tirohanga whānui, ngā whāinga me ngā tukunga whakahaere mō aua whiriwhiringa rā; ā tētehi whakatūnga whakaaetanga i te 24 o Mahuru 1999 e whakatakoto ana i te whakaaro o te Ngāti Mutunga Iwi Authority me te Karauna, i tōna mutunga, kia whāia he whakatau taketake i runga i te tukunga i whakatakotoria ai e te Karauna ki te whakatūnga whakaaetanga: (27) I whakamana te iwi o Ngāti Mutunga i te whakataunga whakamutunga rawa o te Karauna, ā, kātahi ka tāmokongia te whakatau taketake i te 31 o Hōngongoi 2005.
He mea whakapurongo tā te whakatau taketake i te whakaaetanga i waenganui i a Ngāti Mutunga me te Karauna hei whakatau i ngā kerēme o nehe o Ngāti Mutunga: Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Mutunga (28) I te Hōngongoi 2005 i whakamana a Ngāti Mutunga i te rūnanga hou ka whai atu i te Ngāti Mutunga Iwi Authority.

He tarahi motuhake te rūnanga hou ka whakahaerehia e ngā kaitiaki.

Ko Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Mutunga tōna ingoa.

I whakatūria ai te Rūnanga o Ngāti Mutunga e tōna tuhinga whaimana tarahi i te 21 o Hakihea 2005.

6 7 Acknowledgements and apology Sections 7 to 10 record the acknowledgements and the apology given by the Crown to Ngāti Mutunga in the deed of settlement.
Text of acknowledgements in English The text of the acknowledgements in English as set out in the deed of settle‐ ment is as follows: (1) The Crown acknowledges that— 18 Version as at 12 April 2022 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Part 1 s 7 (a) (b) the cumulative effect of the Crown’s actions in purchasing land in Tara‐ naki created tensions that led to the outbreak of war; and the wars in Taranaki constituted an injustice and were in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles.
(2) The Crown acknowledges that— (a) Ngāti Mutunga as an iwi was not in rebellion and was unfairly treated as being in rebellion; and (b) Ngāti Mutunga was deprived of the lands and resources within its rohe, and as a result was unable to exercise rangatiratanga over them; and (c) (d) (e) the confiscation was indiscriminate in extent and application and had a devastating effect on the welfare, economy, and social and economic development of Ngāti Mutunga in Taranaki; and the confiscation deprived Ngāti Mutunga of access to its traditional sour‐ ces of food and other resources associated with that confiscated land; and the confiscation was unjust and unconscionable and in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles.
(3) The Crown recognises that the lands and other resources confiscated from Ngāti Mutunga have made a significant contribution to the wealth and develop‐ ment of New Zealand.
(4) The Crown acknowledges that— (a) (b) the prejudicial effect of the confiscation was compounded by the inade‐ quacies in the Compensation Court process that included long delays in the promised return of land to Ngāti Mutunga individuals; and the Compensation Court awarded land to individuals rather than iwi or hapū, which was not consistent with customary tenure.

This system was imposed on Ngāti Mutunga and its views were not sought.
(5) The Crown acknowledges that the treatment of those Ngāti Mutunga and other Māori of Taranaki imprisoned and exiled as a result of the passive resistance campaign from 1879 to 1880 deprived these British subjects of their basic human rights, inflicted unwarranted hardships on them and their whānau and hapū, and was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles.
(6) The Crown acknowledges— (a) (b) the serious damage it inflicted on the prosperous Māori village of Parihaka and the people residing there, its forcible dispersal of many of the inhabitants, and its assault on the human rights of the people; and that these actions caused great distress and were a complete denial of the Māori right to develop and sustain autonomous communities in a peace‐ ful manner; and 19 Part 1 s 8 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Version as at 12 April 2022 (c) that its treatment of the Ngāti Mutunga people at Parihaka was uncon‐ scionable and unjust and that these actions constituted a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles.
(7) The Crown acknowledges that— (a) (b) (c) (d) the West Coast Commissions were inadequate in their scope and there‐ fore did not fully address the injustices perpetrated by the confiscation; and the reserves created by the Commissions in the 1880s were not sufficient for the present and future needs of Ngāti Mutunga; and some reserves created by the Commissions on the basis of entitlements outside the Ngāti Mutunga rohe were allocated within the Ngāti Mutunga rohe; and the Crown’s actions with respect to the West Coast Settlement Reserves, considered cumulatively (including the imposition of a regime of per‐ petually renewable leases and the sale of large quantities of land by the Public and Māori Trustee)— (i) ultimately deprived Ngāti Mutunga of the control and ownership of the lands reserved for it in Taranaki; and (ii) were in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles.
(8) The Crown acknowledges that despite previous efforts made in the twentieth century, including those of the Sim Commission, it has failed to deal in an appropriate way with the grievances of Ngāti Mutunga.

In particular, the pay‐ ments made under the Taranaki Māori Claims Settlement Act 1944 did not suf‐ ficiently address the grievances of Ngāti Mutunga.
(9) The Crown recognises the efforts and struggles of Ngāti Mutunga in pursuit of its claims for redress and compensation against the Crown for over 130 years.

(10) The Crown acknowledges that the cumulative effect of its breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Waitangi) and its principles has significantly undermined the traditional systems of authority, economic capacity and the physical, cultural and spiritual wellbeing of Ngāti Mutunga.
The Crown acknowledges that it has failed to protect the rangatiratanga of Ngāti Mutunga in breach of its obligations under Article Two of the Treaty of Waitangi (te Tiriti o Waitangi).
8 Text of acknowledgements in Māori The text of the acknowledgements in Māori as set out in the deed of settlement is as follows: (1) E whakaae ana te Karauna— (a) ko te hui katoahia a ngā mahi a te Karauna ki te hoko i ngā whenua o Taranaki te take i pakaru mai te pakanga ki reira; ā 20 Version as at 12 April 2022 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Part 1 s 8 (b) he mahi hē rawa te pakanga i Taranaki ā, he mea tūkino i te Tiriti o Waitangi me ōna mātāpono.
(2) E whakaae ana te Karauna— (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) i hē te uta i ngā kupu “tangata tautohetohe” ki runga i te iwi o Ngāti Mutunga, ka mutu e kore e taea te kī, i te whana rātou; ā i riro ngā whenua me ngā rawa a Ngāti Mutunga i roto i tona rohe, ko te hua o tēnei ko te rironga atu o te rangatiratanga o te iwi ki runga i ēnei mea; ā he mea kino te muru me te raupatu o ngā whenua o Ngāti Mutunga, ā i taimaha tonu te pānga mai o tēnei ki te oranga, ki te ōhanga, ki te whanaketanga hoki o Ngāti Mutunga i Taranaki; ā i riro te muru raupatu i te āhei a Ngāti Mutunga ki te puta atu ki ona mahinga kai me ērā atu rawa o te whenua i murua; ā i hē rawa te muru i ngā whenua o Ngāti Mutunga, he mahi mōrikarika, he mahi poka noa, he tūkinotanga hoki i te Tiriti o Waitangi me ōna mātāpono.
(3) E aro nui ana te Karauna he wāhi nui ngā whenua me ngā rawa i tangohia i a Ngāti Mutunga, i roto i te oranga me te whanaketanga o tēnei whenua.
(4) E whakaae ana te Karauna— (a) (b) nā te muru raupatu, i puta ko te whakatoihara, ā, nā ngā tūpuhitanga o te Kōti Utunga whēnā i te takaroanga o te parepare i ngā wāhinga whenua Māori ki ngā tangata takitahi o Ngāti Mutunga, kātahi ka hē rawa atu; ā ka mahue mai mā te Kōti Utunga e whakahoki whenua ki te hapū, ki te iwi, whakawhiwhia kētia atu ana ki te tangata takitahi.

Waihoki, ehara tēnei i te whai i ngā tikanga tūturu mō te whenua.
He mea uta kē ēnei tikanga ki runga i a Ngāti Mutunga, kīhai i whāia ko ngā whakaaro ake o te iwi.

(5) E whakaae ana te Karauna he kino te whiu i ngā tāngata o Ngāti Mutunga me ngā Māori o Taranaki ki te whareherehere ki wāhi kē mai i te tau 1879 ki te tau 1880.

Ka tīhore mai i aua tāngata o Piritana ō rātou tikanga tangata, ka whiua anō rātou, ō rātou whānau, ō rātou hapū hoki ki ngā whakawiringa poka noa ā he mea tūkino tēnei i te Tiriti o Waitangi me ōna mātāpono.
(6) E whakaae ana te Karauna— (a) (b) ki te kino i whakawhiua ki te kāinga rangatira o Parihaka me ngā tāngata e noho ana ki reira, ko te whakamararatanga hoki o ngā tāngata ki te pū me te takahi tūkinotanga o ngā tikanga o te tangata; ā nā ēnei mahi te pūtake o te kohukihuki o te iwi me te whakakāhoretanga mai o te mana motuhake o te Māori ki te whakawhanake, ki te whakangūngū hapori motuhake i raro i te rangimārie; ā 21 Part 1 s 9 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Version as at 12 April 2022 (c) he kino he mahi mōrikarika te whiu ki ngā tāngata o Ngāti Mutunga i Parihaka ā he mea tūkino i te Tiriti o Waitangi me ōna mātāpono.
(7) E whakaae ana te Karauna— (a) (b) (c) (d) he koretake, he whāiti noa iho hoki te tirotiro a ngā Komihana Tai Hauāuru, ā, kāore i whakaea tōtika ai ngā whakamou i hua mai i te muru raupatu; ā kāore he pai te rahi o ngā whenua rāhui i whakatūria e ngā Kōmihana mō Ngāti Mutunga e ea ai ōna wawata mō ēnei rangi, mō ngā rangi kei te tū; ā ko ētehi o ngā whenua rāhui i taketakea mai o waho o te rohe o Ngāti Mutunga i whakaritea kē i roto i te rohe o Ngāti Mutunga; ā ki te hui katoatia ngā mahi a te Karauna e pā ana ki ngā Whenua Rāhui o Te Tai Hauāuru (me te utaina mai o te kaupapa rīhi pumou me te hokonga o ngā whenua rarahi e te Kaitiaki Tūmatanui rāua ko te Kaitiaki Māori)— (i) i riro atu ko te rangatiratanga me te mana whakahaere o Ngāti Mutunga ki runga i aua whenua rāhui i rāhuingia mōna i Taranaki; ā (ii) he mea tūkino i te Tiriti o Waitangi me ōna mātāpono.
(8) (9) E whakaae ana te Karauna ahakoa ētehi mahi pai āna i te rautau rua tekau, me ērā o te Komihana o Sim, kāore i tōtika te mahi a te Karauna ki te whakatika i ngā whakamou a Ngāti Mutunga.

Arā, kāore i tutuki pai ngā utunga i raro i te Ture Taranaki Māori Claims Settlement 1944 hei whakatau pai i ngā whakamou o Ngāti Mutunga.
E aro nui ana te Karauna ki ngā tono me ngā akiakinga o Ngāti Mutunga i tāna rapu i te utu, i te tika, me te whakaea o āna kerēme i roto i ngā tau 130 kua pahure, mō ngā mahi a te Karauna.

(10) E whakaae ana te Karauna ki te hui katoahia ngā mahi me āna tūkinotanga katoa o te Tiriti o Waitangi me ōna mātāpono kua taimaha rawa te noho tūturu me te mana whakahaere, kua raruraru te whanaketanga taha ōhanga, taha hapori, taha tikanga, taha wairua me te oranga o Ngāti Mutunga.
E whakaae ana te Karauna i hapa a ia ki te tiaki i te rangatiratanga o Ngāti Mutunga ā, he mea tūkino tēnei i ana herenga i roto i te Wāhanga Tuarua o te Tiriti o Waitangi.

(2) Before any classification or purpose is changed or any reservation is revoked pursuant to subsection (1),— (a) (b) where subsection (1)(a) applies and there is an administering body of the reserve, the Commissioner shall notify the administering body in writing as to the Minister’s reasons for considering that a change of classifica‐ tion or purpose is advisable or, as the case may be, that the reservation should be revoked, and shall invite the administering body to comment thereon in writing to the Commissioner: the administering body of the reserve after consulting the Commissioner, or the Commissioner if there is no administering body, shall publicly notify the proposed change of classification or purpose or proposed revocation of reservation, as the case may be, specifying the reason or reasons for the proposal: (c) every person claiming to be affected by the proposed change of classifi‐ cation or purpose or revocation shall have a right of objection to the 72 Version as at 12 April 2022 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Schedule 5 change or revocation, and may, at any time within 1 month after the date of the first publication of the notice of the proposal, give notice in writ‐ ing of his objections to the proposed change or revocation and of the grounds thereof to the Commissioner if there is no administering body, and to the principal administrative officer or chief executive of the administering body in any other case, who shall forward all such objec‐ tions to the Commissioner with a copy of the resolution of the adminis‐ tering body in relation to those objections, after the administering body has considered those objections: provided that, where the date of the first publication of the notice of the proposal falls between the period commencing with the tenth day of December in any year and ending with the tenth day of January in the next succeeding year, notice of objection to the proposed change or revo‐ cation may be given at any time before the tenth day of February next following that
 period: (d) where a local authority which is not the administering body initiates action under subsection (1)(b) to change the classification or purpose of or to revoke the reservation of the whole or part of the land as a reserve, the local authority shall notify the administering body in writing of the resolution of the local authority, and the reasons for it, and the adminis‐ tering body shall notify the Commissioner in writing of the attitude of the administering body to the proposed change of classification or pur‐ pose or to the proposed revocation: (e) (f) (g) (h) the Minister shall as soon as practicable consider the proposed change of classification or purpose or revocation and all objections received thereto and, in the case of objections made to an administering body, the resolution of the administering body thereon, and, in any case where paragraph (d) applies, the attitude of the administering body to the pro‐ posal: the Minister shall have power to receive such submissions and make such inquiries as he thinks fit on the proposal: the procedure to be followed by the Minister in any matter arising under this section shall be as prescribed in regulations made under this Act or, where there are no such regulations or so far as the regulations do not extend, as the Minister determines: any person who does not lodge an objection in accordance with this sub‐ section shall be deemed to have assented to the change of classification or purpose or the revocation of reservation set forth in the public notifi‐ cation.
(3) No change of classification or purpose of a scenic, nature, or scientific reserve, or any part thereof, to a recreation, historic, government purpose, or local pur‐ pose reserve shall be made, except where, in the opinion of the Minister, the 73 Schedule 5 Ngāti Mutunga Claims Settlement Act 2006 Version as at 12 April 2022 reserve or the part thereof is by reason of the destruction of the forest, bush, or other vegetation, or of the fauna or scientific or natural features thereon, or for any other like cause, no longer suitable for the purposes of its classification.
(4) No revocation of the reservation of any land as a nature or scientific reserve, or any part thereof, shall be made except where in the opinion of the Minister the reserve or the part thereof is, by reason of the destruction of the forest, bush, or other vegetation, or of the fauna or scientific or natural features thereon, or for any other like cause, no longer suitable for the purposes of its classification.
(5) No change of classification or purpose nor any revocation of reservation of an historic reserve or any part thereof shall be made, except where, in the opinion of the Minister, the reserve or the part thereof is by reason of the destruction of the historic features or for any other cause no longer suitable for the purpose of its classification, or where, in the opinion of the Minister, the change of classi‐ fication or purpose or the revocation is required in the public interest.
The Min‐ ister shall obtain a report from Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga before making his decision.

Subsection (2) shall not apply to any government purpose reserve, but no change of classification or purpose or revocation of the reservation of such a reserve or any part of such a reserve shall be made without the prior approval of the Minister appointed under section 22 or section 36 to control and manage that reserve.
Subsection (2) shall not apply to any local purpose reserve, other than a reserve made on a subdivision of land under section 13 of the Land Subdivision in Counties Act 1946 or a reserve vested in the Corporation of a borough pursuant to the Municipal Corporations Act 1954 or the Corporation of a county pur‐ suant to Part 2 of the Counties Amendment Act 1961 or section 16 of the Land Act 1924 or section 17 of the Land Laws Amendment Act 1920 or Part 20 of the Local Government Act 1974 (as enacted by section 2 of the Local Govern‐ ment Amendment Act 1978) or as a condition of any resource consent under the Resource Management Act 1991: provided that the Minister may, after considering such evidence as may be sub‐ mitted to him, direct that the proposals be publicly notified, and in that case subsection (2) shall apply.
