Sections 8 and 9 record the text of the acknowledgements and apology of the Crown to Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara in the deed of settlement.
(1) The Crown acknowledges the long tradition of commitment and support of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara given to the Crown from 1840. The Crown also acknowledges the willingness of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara to provide lands for settlement purposes. These lands contributed to the establishment of the settler economy and the development of the nation state of New Zealand.
(2) The Crown acknowledges that it did not correctly apply certain regulations for pre-Treaty and pre-emption waiver transactions. The Crown also acknowledges that it did not always protect Māori interests during investigations into these transactions.
(3) The Crown acknowledges that it took approximately 24 000 acres of the lands of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara claimed by settlers as a result of pre-emption waiver transactions (“surplus lands”), rather than returning these lands to Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara, and this has long been a source of grievance to Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara. The Crown acknowledges that its policy of taking surplus land from pre-emption waiver purchases breached the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles when it failed to ensure any assessment of whether Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara retained adequate lands for their needs. The Crown also acknowledges that this failure was compounded by flaws in the way the Crown implemented the policy in further breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(4) The Crown acknowledges that by failing to set aside one tenth of the lands transacted during the pre-emption waiver period for public purposes, especially the establishment of schools and hospitals for the future benefit of Māori (including Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara), it breached the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(5) The Crown acknowledges that, in purchasing a large amount of land from Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara between 1848 and 1868, it failed to ensure that Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara were reserved sufficient lands for their future use or benefit, and that that failure was in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles. The Crown also acknowledges that it did not take adequate steps to prevent the alienation of the few reserves that were made.
(6) The Crown acknowledges that it purchased lands at low prices from Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara on the understanding that European settlement would bring benefits to Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and that their remaining lands would increase in value. The Crown also acknowledges that the benefits Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara were led to expect from European settlement, such as schools, hospitals and roads, were slow to arrive or were not always realised, and that this has remained a significant grievance for Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara.
(7) The Crown acknowledges that the operation and impact of the Native land laws since 1864, in particular the awarding of land to individual Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara rather than to iwi and hapū, made those lands more susceptible to partition, fragmentation, and alienation. This contributed to the erosion of the traditional tribal structures of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara which were based on collective tribal and hapū custodianship of land. The Crown failed to take steps to adequately protect those structures. This had a prejudicial effect on Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara, and was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(8) The Crown acknowledges that the Native Land Court title determination process carried significant costs for Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara. These costs included survey and court costs, which could and did lead to further alienations of land.
(9) The Crown acknowledges that Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara continued to demonstrate their desire to participate in the development of the region by gifting various lands for public purposes, including ten acres at Te Awaroa (Helensville) and land for the Riverhead to Helensville railway. The Crown also acknowledges that it did not adhere to all conditions accompanying these gifts, including returning those lands when they were no longer needed for the purposes given, and that that failure was in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(10) The Crown acknowledges that at the Kohimarama Conference of 1860 and during the “Orakei Parliaments”, Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara rangatira sought equal participation for Māori in central and local government. The Crown acknowledges that the four Māori seats established to represent Māori in Parliament did not meet Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara expectations.
(11) The Crown acknowledges that by the 1920s there was little suitable land available for Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara to benefit from land-development schemes and that the assistance that was provided benefited very few.
(12) The Crown acknowledges that lands of significance to Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara at Puketapu and elsewhere were acquired by the Crown for sand-dune reclamation purposes in the decade to 1934, including through compulsory taking. The Crown acknowledges that it did not work with Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara to find an alternative to Crown acquisition and that the loss of these lands hindered access for Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara to urupā, kaimoana, and other resources.
(13) The Crown acknowledges that many members of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara suffered poor health following European colonisation, and that Crown provision of health services to Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara was inadequate until the 1930s. The Crown also acknowledges that the education system historically had low expectations for Māori academic achievement and that this had a detrimental effect on Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara.
(14) The Crown acknowledges that the Otakanini block was compulsorily vested in the Tokerau District Māori Land Board without consultation with the owners of the block and that this denied the owners any meaningful role in the administration of the land for fifty years. The Crown also acknowledges that the leases were not properly administered and upon the return of the Otakanini block in 1958, the owners carried significant burdens that impeded the ongoing development of the land. These burdens included additional costs to remedy many breaches of lease conditions and to restore the land to the condition envisaged at the time the leases were entered into.
(15) The Crown acknowledges that the Crown’s corporatisation reforms in the 1980s, in particular of the forestry industry, resulted in high unemployment rates and had a devastating impact on Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara communities.
(16) The Crown acknowledges that the cumulative effect of Crown purchasing, public works takings, and private purchasing rendered Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara virtually landless. The Crown also acknowledges that its failure to monitor the ongoing impact of land purchases contributed to the position today where Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara have insufficient land. The failure to ensure that Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara retained sufficient land was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles. This state of landlessness has undermined the economic, social, and cultural development of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara.
(17) The Crown acknowledges that from the 1940s a state of virtual landlessness was a significant factor contributing to high levels of migration of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and that most Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara now live outside their rōhe. The Crown further acknowledges that Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara communities have endured social deprivation for too long.
(18) The Crown acknowledges that the cumulative effect of the Crown’s breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles significantly undermined the tino rangatiratanga of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara, their economic and social development, and physical, cultural and spiritual well-being with effects that continue to be felt to the present day.
(19) The Crown acknowledges that it failed to deal in an appropriate way with grievances raised by successive generations of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and that resolution of these grievances is long overdue.
(1) The Crown recognises that, from the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara committed themselves to a close and positive relationship with the Crown and, through sales and other means, provided lands for European settlement. The Crown deeply regrets that the benefits Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara were led to expect from the relationship, including benefits from the sale of land, were slow to arrive or were not always realised.
(2) The Crown profoundly regrets and unreservedly apologises for its actions, which have resulted in the virtual landlessness of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara. This state of landlessness has had devastating consequences for the social, cultural, economic, spiritual, and physical well-being of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara that continue to be felt today.
(3) With this apology and settlement the Crown seeks to atone for these wrongs and to begin the process of healing. The Crown intends to improve and strengthen its historically close relationship with Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara based on the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles so as to create a solid foundation for the future.
