This Act is the Ngai Tāmanuhiri Claims Settlement Act 2011.
(a) to give effect to certain provisions in the deed of settlement, which is a deed to settle the historical claims of Ngai Tāmanuhiri, dated 5 March 2011 and signed by—
(i) the Honourable Christopher Finlayson, the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations, on behalf of the Crown; and
(ii) Na Rongowhakaata Raihania and Hope Nga Taare Tupara, as trustees of the Tāmanuhiri Tutu Poroporo Trust on behalf of Ngai Tāmanuhiri; and
(b) to record the acknowledgements and apology offered to Ngai Tāmanuhiri by the Crown in the deed of settlement.
(a) sets out the purpose of this Act, records the acknowledgements and apology given by the Crown to Ngai Tāmanuhiri, and specifies that this Act binds the Crown; and
(b) defines terms used in this Act; and
(c) provides that the settlement of the historical claims is final; and
(ii) a consequential amendment to the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975; and
(a) in subparts 1 to 3, cultural redress for which vesting of land is not required, including the establishment of the Local Leadership Body; and
(b) in subpart 4, the properties that are vested as cultural redress properties and provisions to facilitate the vesting of those properties; and
(c) in subpart 5, a provision relating to the transfer of Te Wherowhero.
(4) Part 3 provides for commercial redress, including provisions,—
(a) in subpart 1, to enable the transfer of commercial redress and deferred selection properties; and
(b) in subpart 2, relating to the transfer of the licensed land, Wharerata Forest; and
(c) in subpart 3, to permit access to protected sites; and
(d) in subpart 4, providing for the RFR redress.
(5) Part 4 sets out transitional provisions, including those for the removal of the charitable status of the fisheries and other assets of the Ngai Tāmanuhiri Whānui Trust.
(6) There are 3 schedules, as follows:
(a) Schedule 1 describes the 2 statutory areas to which the statutory acknowledgement relates:
(b) Schedule 2 describes the 3 cultural redress properties:
(c) Schedule 3 sets out requirements for giving notice in relation to RFR land.
(1) Sections 7 and 8 record the acknowledgements and apology offered to Ngai Tāmanuhiri by the Crown in the deed of settlement.
(2) The acknowledgements and apology are to be read in conjunction with the account of the historical relations between Ngai Tāmanuhiri and the Crown, as recorded in Part 2 of the deed of settlement.
(a) it has failed to address until now the longstanding and legitimately held grievances of Ngai Tāmanuhiri in an appropriate manner; and
(b) its recognition of, and provision of redress for, those grievances is long overdue; and
(c) the sense of grief and loss suffered by, and the impact on, Ngai Tāmanuhiri remains today.
(a) prior to 1865 Ngai Tāmanuhiri had full control of their lands and resources and were participating successfully in the New Zealand economy; and
(b) when war broke out in the 1860s in other regions of New Zealand, Ngai Tāmanuhiri remained neutral; and
(c) Ngai Tāmanuhiri were not involved in the fighting that took place on the East Coast in 1865; and
(d) the Crown used military force in Tūranga in November 1865 when there was no need for it to do so; and
(e) it did not pursue all reasonable possibilities for preserving peace in Tūranga after it issued the ultimatum to the occupants of Waerenga a Hika in November 1865; and
(f) the occupants of Waerenga a Hika were entitled to defend themselves; and
(g) the Crown’s attack on Waerenga a Hika whose occupants included many women and children, was unwarranted, unjust, and breached the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(3) The Crown acknowledges that its military forces partook in indiscriminate looting of the Tūranga region in the aftermath of the Waerenga a Hika attack, which contributed to acute food shortages that caused some loss of life among Tūranga Māori.
(4) The Crown acknowledges that its detention of some Ngai Tāmanuhiri in harsh conditions on the Chatham Islands for more than two years without laying formal charges or bringing them to trial—
(a) meant that they were detained for an unreasonably lengthy period, which assumed the character of indefinite detention without trial; and
(c) was prevented from being challenged in the courts by several indemnity acts; and
(d) was wrongful, a breach of natural justice, and deprived those Ngai Tāmanuhiri of basic human rights; and
(e) was an injustice and a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(5) The Crown further acknowledges that these prisoners were justified in finally escaping from the Chatham Islands in July 1868.
(6) The Crown acknowledges that when the Whakarau returned to the mainland, they had reason not to trust the Crown when it asked them to lay down their arms.
(7) The Crown acknowledges that the summary executions at Ngatapa by Crown forces in January 1869 breached the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles and tarnished the honour of the Crown.
(7A) The Crown acknowledges that the manner in which it forcibly took possession of Te Hau Ki Turanga, and its ongoing care of Te Hau Ki Turanga for many years, breached the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(a) some Ngai Tāmanuhiri did not give any consent to the 1868 deed of cession; and
(b) those Ngai Tāmanuhiri who agreed to the cession did so under duress; and
(c) the pressure applied by the Crown to secure this cession, and the resulting extinguishment of Ngai Tāmanuhiri’s customary interests in all their lands breached the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(9) The Crown acknowledges that—
(a) it did not consult with Ngai Tāmanuhiri about the individualisation of titles by the Poverty Bay Commission, or the introduction of the native land legislation; and
(b) the Poverty Bay Commission awarded joint tenancies, which promoted alienation as these titles could not be bequeathed; and
(c) the awarding of titles to individuals by the Poverty Bay Commission and the Native Land Court made Ngai Tāmanuhiri lands more susceptible to partition, fragmentation, and alienation; and
(d) this had a prejudicial effect on Ngai Tāmanuhiri as it contributed to the erosion of traditional tribal structures, which were based on collective tribal and hapū custodianship of land. The Crown failed to take adequate steps to protect those structures and this was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(10) The Crown acknowledges that it failed to enact legislation before 1894 that facilitated the administration of Ngai Tāmanuhiri land subject to the native land laws on a community basis, and this was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(11) The Crown acknowledges that it did not investigate an allegation that the Validation Court had a validated transaction for 11,000 acres in Maraetaha 2, which did not take place.
(a) a significant proportion of Ngai Tāmanuhiri land became vested in the East Coast Trust; and
(b) its failure to provide for Ngai Tāmanuhiri beneficial owners to be involved in the development of policy for the administration of their land once it became clear that this Trust would have a long-term existence was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(13) The Crown acknowledges that—
(a) it compulsorily acquired land from Ngai Tāmanuhiri under public works legislation in a number of blocks; and
(b) it took land for roads without paying compensation; and
(c) there was generally inadequate consultation with Ngai Tāmanuhiri about public works takings before the middle of the twentieth century; and
(d) as late as 1983 the Crown acquired 99 acres at Maraetaha for waterworks under public works legislation, further reducing Ngai Tāmanuhiri landholdings.
(14) The Crown acknowledges the distress caused by the Manutuke consolidation scheme in the years following 1958, as it required many Ngai Tāmanuhiri to exchange land to which they had significant ancestral connections for land to which they had no connections.
(15) The Crown acknowledges—
(a) the severe impact on Ngai Tāmanuhiri of the loss of many traditional sources of kai moana because of the pollution of their coastline by Gisborne’s sewage system and industrial waste; and
(b) Ngai Tāmanuhiri have lost control over many of their significant sites, including wāhi tapu, and that this has had an ongoing impact on their physical and spiritual relationship with their land.
(16) The Crown acknowledges that the cumulative effect of the Crown’s actions and omissions, including the operation and impact of the Poverty Bay Commission and native land laws, left Ngai Tāmanuhiri virtually landless and undermined their economic, social, and cultural development. The Crown acknowledges the devastating consequences that flow from this for the well-being of Ngai Tāmanuhiri. The Crown’s failure to ensure that Ngai Tāmanuhiri retained sufficient lands for its present and future needs was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
(17) The Crown acknowledges that Ngai Tāmanuhiri have lived with poorer housing, lower educational achievements, and worse health than many other New Zealanders for too long.
(18) The Crown acknowledges that Ngai Tāmanuhiri have—
(a) made a significant contribution to the wealth and development of the nation; and
(b) honoured their obligations and responsibilities under the Treaty of Waitangi, especially, but not exclusively, in their contribution to New Zealand’s war efforts overseas. The Crown pays tribute to the contribution made by Ngai Tāmanuhiri to the defence of the nation.
(1) The Crown acknowledges that its relationship with Ngai Tāmanuhiri has involved some of the darkest episodes in our country’s history.
(2) The Crown recognises that Ngai Tāmanuhiri has long sought to right the injustices they have suffered at the hands of the Crown, and is deeply sorry that it has failed until now to address the injustices in an appropriate manner.
(3) The Crown deeply regrets, and apologises for, its use of military force in Tūranga, and the devastating consequences that flowed from this for Ngai Tāmanuhiri. The Crown is profoundly remorseful at the exile of some Ngai Tāmanuhiri to the Chatham Islands, and the summary executions of unarmed prisoners at Ngatapa during the war it fought against those who escaped their wrongful and unjust detention on the Chathams.
(4) The Crown sincerely apologises for its many failures to respect Ngai Tāmanuhiri rangatiratanga and to protect Ngai Tāmanuhiri from being left virtually landless and economically marginalised.
(5) The Crown unreservedly apologises to Ngai Tāmanuhiri and your ancestors and descendants for the many failures to honour its obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi.
(6) The Crown seeks to restore its honour and reputation as a Treaty partner and atone for its past failures to uphold the Treaty of Waitangi with this apology and settlement. The Crown hopes to build a new relationship with Ngai Tāmanuhiri based on respect for the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
