Rāpopotonga o te kōrero hītori
1: Nō te tau 1840, ka hainatia ai e ētehi o ngā rangatira o Ngāti Maniapoto Te Tiriti o Waitangi
2: Ko Rewi Maniapoto me ētehi atu ngā rangatira o te whawhai i ngā pakanga o Meremere, Pāterangi me Ōrākau. I te papa kāinga o Rangiaowhia ētehi o Ngāti Maniapoto i te whakaekenga o reira e ngā hoia o Te Karauna me te kōhurutanga o te hunga harakore.
3: Nō muri mai o Ōrākau, ka heke mai a Ngāti Maniapoto ki kō o te awa o Pūniu. He nui te parekura ki a Ngāti Maniapoto i taua whawhai ā, ka murua e Te Karauna ētehi whenua ki taua pito o tō rātou rohe. Hei aha koa ēnei takahanga, ka manaakitia ngā manene o taua whawhai me aua murunga whenua e Ngāti Maniapoto ki tō rātou rohe tae atu ana ki a Kīngi Tawhiao. He pēhi nui tēnei ki runga o ā rātou rawa.
4: Nō te mutunga o te pakanga ka aukatihia e Ngāti Maniapoto tō rātou rohe hei pupuru i tōna rangatiratanga, mana motuhake hoki o runga o ngā whenua e toe ana ki a rātou. Tē taea ai e te Pākehā te uru ki roto ki te kore e whakaaetia. Nō roto o taua wā he ngana tonu nā ngā rangatira kia whakaaetia e Te Karauna tō rātou mana o runga o ō rātou ake whenua.
5: Nō waenga o te tau 1883 me te tau 1885, ka kōrerotia e Te Karauna me Ngāti Maniapoto Te Ōhākī Tapu. He huinga whakaaetanga, whakaoatitanga hoki, tēnei māna e riro ai i a Ngāti Maniapoto te whakaaetanga a Te Karauna ki tō rātou mana whakahaere ki runga o ō rātou whenua, iwi hoki, ā, hei whakautu, he whakaae ki te hikinga o te aukati me te tuku kia hangaia o Te Ara-o-Tūrongo ki tō rātou rohe.
6: Nō muri mai o te ruri i te raina rerewē ka tīmata ai ngā whakawā o te Kōti Whenua Māori ki Te Rohe Pōtae. Ko tā Ngāti Maniapoto he papare, kātahi ka ngana te whai wāhi ki ngā whakahaerenga a Te Kōti me tāna takahuri i ngā whenua ki te taitara o te tangata kotahi. Nō te tau 1890 ka tīmata ai Te Karauna ki te hoko i aua taitara tangata kotahi. Nāwai rā, mai i te rautaki whakatuki a Te Karauna ka kore e kaha ai te kore e whakaae a te nuinga o Ngāti Maniapoto ki ngā hokonga whenua.
7: Nō te tau 1904 ka hainatia ai Te Kawenata o Ngāti Maniapoto he pepa mana e tohe ana ki te pupuru a Ngāti Maniapoto i tōna tuakiri ā-iwi mai i te Māoritanga me te rangatiratanga o Ngāti Maniapoto. Ka uru a Ngāti Maniapoto ki te rautau rua tekau me taua mārō anō ki te pupuru i tō rātou mana motuhake mai iho o ā rātou whakawhitiwhiti me Te Karauna.
8: Ka ngana tonu a Ngāti Maniapoto ki te whakawhanake ake i tō rātou ōhanga, me ngā whenua i pupurita e rātou. Heoi anō te taitara tangata kotahi tonu me ngā ture o te whakahaere o te whenua Māori i te rautau rua tekau i kino ai te uaua. Hei aha koa te hokonga o te nui o te whenua, ka murua ā-turetia e Te Karauna ētehi wāhi nui mo te mahinga tūmatanui tae atu ana ki te Hōhipere Mate Hinengaro o Tokanui me te Whareherehere o Waikeria. Tae noa ki te tau 1935, ka 24% noa iho o Te Rohe Pōtae i te noho tonu ki te mana o te Māori. Kua whai painga nui te ōhanga o Aoteroa mai i te mahi nanakia i ngā rawa o roto o te rohe o Ngāti Maniapoto, he pānga kino nui ki tōna taiao.
9: Mai i te tau 1840, he nui te kino o te pānga o ngā mahi me te koremahi a Te Karauna ki runga o te hauora ā-papori, ā-ōhanga o te iwi tae atu ki tō rātou tuakiri ā-iwi. Waihoki, ko tā Ngāti Maniapoto he karanga tonu kia mau tonu, kia whakaaetia rā anō hoki o tō rātou rangatiratanga, mana whakahaere hoki, i whakaoatitia mai i Te Tiriti o Waitangi Summary of historical account
1: In 1840, Ngāti Maniapoto rangatira signed te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
2: Under the leadership of Rewi Maniapoto and others, Ngāti Maniapoto fought Crown troops in several engagements, including at Meremere, Pāterangi and Ōrākau. Ngāti Maniapoto people were also present at the unfortified village of Rangiaowhia when Crown forces attacked and non-combatants were killed.
3: After Ōrākau, Ngāti Maniapoto were forced to withdraw across the Pūniu River. Many Ngāti Maniapoto lives were lost during the conflict and the Crown confiscated land at the edge of their rohe. Despite these hardships, Ngāti Maniapoto welcomed into their rohe those who had been displaced by the conflict and extensive confiscation in Waikato and Taranaki, including King Tāwhiao. This put significant strain on their resources.
4: After the war, Ngāti Maniapoto established an aukati around their territory to preserve their rangatiratanga and mana motuhake over their remaining land. No Pākehā could pass into these lands without permission. During this time, rangatira continued to seek the Crown’s recognition of their authority over their land.
5: Between 1883 and 1885, the Crown and Ngāti Maniapoto negotiated Te Ōhākī Tapu. This was a series of agreements and assurances through which Ngāti Maniapoto sought Crown recognition of their mana whakahaere over their lands and peoples, and in return agreed to lift the aukati and allow the construction of Te Ara-o-Tūrongo (part of the North Island Main Trunk railway line) to proceed through their territory.
6: Following the survey of the North Island Main Trunk railway line, the Native Land Court began to hold hearings in Te Rohe Pōtae. Ngāti Maniapoto resisted and then strove to influence court processes while the court converted their tribal territory into individualised land holdings. In 1890, the Crown began to purchase these individual interests. The Crown’s aggressive purchasing tactics eventually overcame the opposition of many Ngāti Maniapoto to land sales.
7: In 1904, Te Kawenata o Ngāti Maniapoto, a document which emphasised tribal unity based on the preservation of their Māoritanga and Ngāti Maniapoto rangatiratanga, was signed. Ngāti Maniapoto entered the twentieth century with the same determination to preserve their authority that had marked their previous engagement with the Crown.
8: Ngāti Maniapoto tried to develop their economy and what land they had managed to retain. However, individualisation of land tenure and statutory provisions for the administration of Māori land in the twentieth century made this difficult. Despite purchasing large tracts of land, the Crown compulsorily took significant areas for public works, including the Tokanui Mental Hospital and Waikeria Prison. By 1935, only 24% of land in Te Rohe Pōtae remained in Māori ownership. The New Zealand economy has benefited greatly from the exploitation of resources in the Ngāti Maniapoto rohe, which has suffered much environmental damage.
9: Since 1840, Crown acts and omissions have had a severe impact on the social and economic well-being of the iwi as well as their tribal identity. In the face of this, Ngāti Maniapoto have persistently called for the maintenance and recognition of their rangatiratanga and mana whakahaere, guaranteed to them by te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi

Ngā Ture Whenua Māori me te horo o ngā whakahaerenga a te iwi
12: E whākī ana Te Karauna nā te whakatūranga me ngā whakapānga o Ngā Ture Whenua, ērangi rawa ia te tukua o ngā whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto ki te hunga tangata kotahi me te āhei a te tangata kotahi ki te whakahaere i aua whenua i tua atu o te hapū, iwi rānei, i wātea ai aua whenua ki te wāwāhinga, ki te murunga, ki te roherohenga. He wāhi nui tēnei ki te horo o ngā whakahaerenga ā-iwi o Ngāti Maniapoto, he mea anga mai i te kaitiakitanga ā-iwi, ā-hapū rā anō o te whenua. E whākī ana Te Karauna ko te kore o tāna tiaki i aua whakahaerenga ā-iwi he takahinga o te Tiriti o Waitangi

a: iti ake o te utu ki te Māori;
b: haukoti i te hiahia a Ngāti Maniapoto, nāna te whakapau pūtea nui ki te rūri me te whakawehewehe i ōna whenua, kia utua aua nama mā te rīhi i ōna whenua; ā,
c: whakatuki o te hoko, tae atu ana ki te whakatuma kei riro ā-ture ngā whenua, e kaha ake ai te whakahau i a Ngāti Maniapoto ki te hoko i ōna whenua ki Te Karauna. Nā ēnei mahinga, whakarerenga kētanga rānei, i kore ai Te Karauna e pono ki tāna whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro me Ngāti Maniapoto, tiaki tika rānei, i āna whai pānga ki ōna whenua, ā, he takahinga tēnei o te Tiriti o Waitangi Te Ara-o-Tūrongo, tōna kamupeihana, me ngā kirimana kaimahi
17: E whākī ana Te Karauna nō tāna hanga i Te Ara-o-Tūrongo ki Te Rohe Pōtae, kihai ia i tuku kamupeihana ki a Ngāti Maniapoto mō te wāhanga o te rerewē whakatetonga o te poraka o Pukenui, ā, he takahinga tēnei o te Tiriti o Waitangi
18: E whākī ana hoki Te Karauna nō muri o te tau 1887, kāore āna whāinga kia whai wāhi a Ngāti Maniapoto, ōrite tonu ki ngā kainoho Pākehā, tauiwi hoki, ki ngā hua whai pūtea mai i te mahi hanga i Te Ara-o-Tūrongo ki roto o Te Rohe Pōtae. Ngā Poraka o Mōkau

a: te paunga o te rua tekau mā rima tau neke atu mai i ngā hokonga, ā, he tika te whakapono a Ngāti Maniapoto i whakarērēna aua whenua e Te Karauna;
b: te nui o ngā porotēhe ki ngā hokonga i te hainatanga o ngā tīra, ā, kihai Te Karauna i whai tūturu i nga whakaaetanga noa a ngā uri whenua katoa o ngā whenua i riro i a ia; ā
c: kāore kau i āta tautuhitia ki aua tīra ngā whenua i hokona e Te Karauna. Nā ēnei mahinga, whakarerenga kētanga rānei i takahia ai e Te Karauna te Tiriti o Waitangi Ngā rāhuitanga o Mōkau
20: E whākī ana Te Karauna nō tāna hoko poraka whenua i Mōkau i ngā tau 1850 me te riro i a ia o aua whenua kihai i rāhuitia e ia ngā rāhuitanga katoa i manakohia e Ngāti Maniapoto—
a: ki ētehi tauira e rua neke atu pea i kore ai e rāhuitia e ia ngā rāhuitanga e tika ana mō Ngāti Maniapoto;
b: i takaroahia pokanoa e ia ngā rāhuitanga e toe mai ana, mō te rautau neke atu ki tētehi tauira o muri mai o te hokonga o te whenua; ā
c: kihai i tika te tiaki i ngā rohenga i rāhuitia mai i te tangohanga mō Ngāti Maniapoto, ka tukua ai kia nōhia. Nā ēnei mahi, rerenga kē hoki I takahia ai e Te Karauna te Tiriti o Waitangi
21: He whākī anō nā Te Karauna kihai i riro i a Ngāti Maniapoto ngā hua ōhanga i oatitia e Te Karauna mai i te hokonga o te whenua hei wāhanga o ngā hokonga i Mōkau Awakino. Mokau-Mohakatino
22: E whākī ana Te Karauna he aha koa te roa o te porotēhe a ngā uri whenua o Mokau-Mohakatino ki te hiahia a tētehi kainoho ki te rīhi i te poraka, kīhai Te Karauna i toro ki ngā uri whenua nō mua o tāna tautoko i te Ture Mokau-Mohakatino 1888, nāna te whakature i te rīhi a taua kainoho ki runga o taua poraka kīhai i whakaaetia ai e ngā uri whenua. E whākī ana Te Karauna kihai i tukua e ia te whakaōritetanga o te ture ki ngā uri whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto ki Mokau-Mohakatino, kīhai hoki i whakawehi ki tō rātou mana whakahaere, mana rangatiratanga, o runga o ngō rātou whenua, ā, he takahinga tēnei o te Tiriti o Waitangi
23: He whākīnga anō nā Te Karauna ko tā Te Ture Mokau-Mohakatino 1888, ki tua atu o te tukua ki te kairīhi te mana whakamātuatanga ki te rīhi i ētehi whenua anō i Mōkau-Mohakatino, he kaha rawa rā anō o te tautoko i ngā mōtika a tētehi kainoho ki runga rawa o ngā mōtika a ngā uri whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto. E whakaae ana Te Karauna i te tohe ko te kore o tāna tiaki i te whai pānga a ngā uri whenua mai i te kore o te whai a te kairīhi i ōna herenga i raro o te rīhi, he wāhi nui o roto o te hokonga o Mokau-Mohakatino, ā, ko taua kore ōna ki te tiaki i ngā pānga a Ngāti Maniapoto o runga o ngā whenua i hiahiatia e ia te pupuru, he takahinga o te Tiriti o Waitangi Ngā Tāone Māori
24: E whākī ana Te Karauna ko tā Ngāti Maniapoto he whakaae ki te whakatūranga o te tāone Māori i Ōtorohanga me Te Kūiti i te tau 1902 mai i tāna whakapono ka pupuritia e ia tōna mana whakahaere mā ōna māngai i pōtitia e ia ki te Kaunihera Whenua o Maniapoto-Tuwharetoa, māna ngā whenua hei whakahaere. Aua atu, ko tā Te Karauna he whakaturetanga i te tau 1905, hei aha koa te whai i ngā whakaaro a Ngāti Maniapoto, kia whakakapia taua kaunihera whenua ki te Poari Whenua o Waikato-Maniapoto, kotahi noa iho tōna mema Māori, nā Te Karauna i whakaingoa. Nā te tautoko o tēnei whakaturetanga me te kore e whai i ngā whakaaro a Ngāti Maniapoto, i kore ai Te Karauna e whakawehi i te mana rangatiratanga o Ngāti Maniapoto, ā, he takahinga tēnei o te Tiriti o Waitangi Te Tuku Whenua
25: E whākī ana Te Karauna—
a: nō roto o te 1907 me te 1910, ka tukua ā-turetia te nui rawa atu o ngā whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto ki te Poari ā-Rohe o Te Whenua Māori;
b: ka tukua aua whenua i raro i te ture ko tōna ritenga kia hokona e Te Poari ētehi whenua, e ai ki te Komihana a Stout-Ngata, tē whāia ai e Ngāti Maniapoto tōna rironga;
c: kāore kau he ritenga o te whakaae a Ngāti Maniapoto ki te tukua te hokona rānei o aua whenua nei, ā, tēnā, kāore kau ana tētehi huarahi e taea ai e Ngāti Maniapoto te whakahoki i aua whenua mai i te mana whakahaere o te Poari tae noa ki te tau 1913; ā
d: mai i reira ka hokona ai e Te Poari ngā whenua hei aha koa te whakaae a ngā uri whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto. E whākī ana Te Karauna nā te whakature o te tuku whenua ki raro o te Poari ā-Rohe o Te Whenua Māori me ngā ritenga o reira kia hokona ētehi whenua e Te Poari hei aha koa te whakaae a ngā uri whenua, he whakakorenga nā Te Karauna o te mana whakahaere o Ngāti Maniapoto ki runga o aua whenua, he takahinga hoki o Te Tiriti o Waitangi Te hoko o ngā pānga a te tangata kotahi hei aha koa te whakataunga a te hunga uri whenua
26: Ka hokona hoki e Te Karauna ētehi whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto kāore i tukua ki te Poari ā-Rohe o te Whenua Māori. Mō ēnei whenua e whākī ana Te Karauna nō roto o ngā tau o muri mai i te 1909, ko tāna he hoko, i ētehi wā, ngā pānga o te hunga tangata kotahi, ēngari mō ngā whakataunga a te hunga uri whenua kia kaua ō rātou whenua e hokona. Ki ēnei whakawhitinga kōrero ko tā Te Karauna he mārama ki tāna tinihanga i te whakataunga ā-iwi o ngā uri whenua o Maniapoto kia kaua ō rātou whenua e hokona mai i te hunga tangata kotahi. Nā reira he kutukutu-ahi ngā whakaritenga o roto o ngā ture whenua Māori i reira ngā ritenga o te whakataunga ā-hapū, ā-iwi hoki, ā, he takahinga o Te Tiriti o Waitangi Ngā kaupapa ahu whenua
27: E whākī ana Te Karauna—
a: Kīhai i tukua e ia ētehi pūtea tautoko i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto tae noa ki te tōmuri o ngā tau 1920, tae ki taua wā ko ngā whenua tūturu makuru o Ngāti Maniapoto i riro kē;
b: ka namahia e Te Karauna ngā utu o aua kaupapa whakawhanaketanga ki te whenua i te mahia kia whakawhanakehia;
c: nā Te Karauna te whakahaere i ngā whenua i te whakawhanakehia, ka pau ngā tekautau i kore ai te mana whakahaere o Ngāti Maniapoto ki runga o aua whenua, nā ko tā Te Karauna he whakahaere i aua nama kia iti iho; ā
d: he kore e whai hua mai i te whakahaere a Te Karauna i aua kaupapa mō Ngāti Maniapoto ki tāna i hiahia ai mai i tāna whai wāhi ki aua kaupapa nei. Ngā take whakawhanake ake
28: E whākī ana Te Karauna kīhai i tutuki te kauapapa whakatōpu nāna i whakatū ki roto o te rohe o Ngāti Maniapoto, nāwai rā he roa nō te whai, i roto i ngā tekautau neke atu. He whākī anō nā Te Karauna tē taea ai e te kaupapa nei te whakatika i ngā take mai i te whatiwhatinga o te purunga o te whenua. Ngā mahinga tūmatanui, Tokanui
29: E whākī ana Te Karauna tua atu o te whānui tāna hoko, ka riro i a ia ētehi whanua anō mai i a Ngāti Maniapoto mā ngā momo tangohanga o te mahinga tūmatanui. He whākīnga anō tonu i tāna tango ā-ture i te nui o te whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto mō Te Hōhipere Mate Hinengaro o Tokanui, kāore hoki he āta rautakinga e kitea ai te tika o te hiahia ki aua whenua. Ka mutu mai i te kore o taua rautakinga ka riro i Te Karauna te nui whakaharahara o aua whenua i Tokanui, nō muri mai ko te nuinga ka whakawhitia ki te Tari Whareherehere hei wāhanga o te Whareherehere o Waikēria. He whakatoihara nui nō ēnei tangohanga o ngā mahinga tūmatanui ki runga o ngā uri whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto, kua raruraru kē i te whakaitinga iho o ngō rātou whenua mai i te raupatu me te whānui o ngā hokonga a Te Karauna. E whākī ana Te Karauna ko ngā āhuatanga mai i āna tangohanga i ngā whenua i Tokanui he takahinga o Te Tiriti o Waitangi Murunga tiaki tirohanga
30: He whākī anō nā Te Karauna i tāna muru ā-ture o ētehi whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto hei tiaki tirohanga. Mō te poraka o Mangoira, e whākī ana Te Karaua nō tāna muru ā-ture i te poraka i te tau 1912 mō te Mokau River Scenic Reserve i raro i ngā Ture o te Mahinga Tūmatanui me te Tiaki Tirohanga i te tau 1908, ka riro i a ia e 3,000 eka o te whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto heoti noa mā te tata ki te rua rau eka noa iho e taea ai te tiaki i te tirohanga. He whākī nā Te Karauna he nui rawa nō te rironga o te poraka Mangoira, he takahinga hoki o Te Tiriti o Waitangi Ngā hokonga a Te Karauna i te Rautau Rua Tekau
31: E whākī ana Te Karauna nā te heipū o āna mahinga, whakarerenga kētanga hoki i tere ake ai, i whānui hoki ai te rironga atu o ngā whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto i roto I te rautau tekau mā iwa me ngā tau tōmua o te rua tekau mā tahi, ā, he pānga nui whakaharaha ki runga o tōna hauora ā-papori, ā-ōhanga. Te riro ā-ture o ngā pānga e kore e whai pūtea
32: E whākī ana Te Karauna nō waenga o ngā tau 1953 ki te 1974 ka whai mana ai te Tarahiti Māori ki ngā ture pēnei me te Ture Take Māori 1953 me te Ture Whakatikatika Take Māori 1967, ki te tango ā-ture ngā pānga e kore e whai pūtea Te Tiriti o Waitangi Te Māperetanga
33: E whākī ana Te Karauna ko tāna māperetanga ki runga o te iwi Māori he māminga nāna o te whakaōritetanga o te whakahere, ēngari he māperetanga o ngā tāne o te rohe o Waikato-Maniapoto anahe, inā rā ko Ngāti Maniapoto tonu. He oti noa te mārama a Te Karauna ko te tokomaha o ngā tūao o Ngāti Maniapoto he ōwehenga ki tōna taupori. Inā rā te kore o te tiaki tika i a Ngāti Maniapoto hāunga ana ki te tiaki i a iwi kē kāore i māperengia nō reirá te pōhēhē kāore i pai te whai wāhi a Ngāti Maniapoto ki ngā take pakanga. Inā hoki ko te kore nō Te Karauna o te whakawehi i te whakahere a Ngāti Manaipoto ki Te Pakanga Tuatahi he whakamau nui o te hauora whakamamae i te iwi. Nā ēnei mahinga, whakarerenga kētanga hoki i takahia ai e Te Karauna Te Tiriti o Waitangi Ngā tākoha a Ngāti Maniapoto ki ngā mahi pakanga a Aotearoa
34: E whākī ana, e karamihi ana hoki, Te Karauna ki ngā tākoha a Ngāti Maniapoto ki ngā mahi pakanga a Aotearoa i te rautau ruatekau, taea noatia te whai wāhi ki te Pakanga i Haute Awherika, ngā Pakanga o Te Ao e rua tahi, te Pakanga i Korea, me te Pakanga i Wietenamu. Take ōhanga ā-papori
35: E whākī ana Te Karauna—
a: kua roa te pāmamae i te painga kore o Ngāti Maniapoto ki tōna hauora, whiwhi whare, me te whiai mātauranga, taea noatia te iti ake o ngā huarahi ki te rapu mahi, whai pūtea hoki mō te whiwhi whare i tō ngā ara e wātea ana ki a tauiwi;
b: mai i ēnei take he pānga kino ki runga o te hauora ā-tinana, ā-ōhanga, ā-ahurea, ā-wairua o Ngāti Maniapoto; ā
c: kua pēhia te tokomaha o Ngāti Maniapoto e ēnei take ōhanga ā-papori ki te rapu mahi ki roto o ngā pokapū tāone nui, ka mutu ka tauwehea ai rātou i ngā tikanga o Ngāti Maniapoto i ō rātou tūrangawaewae, i ō rātou whānau. Ngā penihana me te whakahāwea
36: E whākī ana Te Karauna ka whakahāweatia te Māori, otirā a Ngāti Maniapoto, mā roto o te iti ake o te whakawhiwhinga penihana i tērā o ētehi atu tāngata o Aotearoa i ngā tekau tau e whā tōmua o te rautau rua tekau, ā, ko te whakahāwea pēnei nā i a Ngāti Maniapoto he takahinga o Te Tiriti o Waitangi Poropeihana
37: E whākī ana Te Karauna i te māia o ngā rangatira o Ngāti Maniapoto ki te whakatū me te pupuru i tētehi poropeihana o te waipiro ki tōna rohe i waenga o te 1884-1954 hei urupare i ngā pānga kino o te waipiro ki runga o ōna tāngata hei aha koa te kaha o te akaiaki a te papori Pākehā me te tupu o tōna tokomaha ki roto o te rohe o Ngāti Maniapoto. Mātauranga
38: E whākī ana Te Karauna ko te whainga o te hōtaka mātauranga tōmuri o te rautau tekau mā iwa, tōmua o te rua tekau he horomi i ngā ākonga o Ngāti Maniapoto he manako iti ake hoki mō tā rātou whai i te mātauranga. Waihoki, ka whiua ngā tamariki o Ngāti Maniapoto tae atu ki te wepu mō te korero i te reo Māori ki ngā papa o te kura. E whākī ana Te Karauna nā ēnei wheako i ngaro ai i ētehi o Ngāti Maniapoto tō rātou tuakiri ahurea, mārama hoki ki ngā tikanga, mātauranga hoki, he wāhi nui hoki ki te pōhara o te noho a te nui o Ngāti Maniapoto. Te Reo Māori
39: E whākī ana Te Karauna kāore kau ia i āta tiaki i Te Reo Māori, i āta tautoko hoki i tōna whakamahinga ki roto o Ngāti Maniapoto. He whākīnga anō hoki nā Te Karauna i te pānga nui o ēnei korenga ki te memeha o Te Reo Māori i waenga i te tokomaha o Ngāti Maniapoto, ā, he uaua kē ake te tuku i te reo me ngā tikanga ki ngā uri whakaheke. E whakī ana Te Karauna ko taua kore o te āta tiaki i Te Reo he takahinga o Te Tiriti o Waitangi Taiao
40: E whākī ana Te Karauna—
a: nō mua o te tau 1840 ko Ngāti Maniapoto te kaitiaki o Te Nehenehenui, me tōna hōrapa o te rohe o Ngāti Maniapoto, te whaitua oranga o te tini o ngā momo otaota, momo koiora o te māra a Tāne-mahuta, o te horomata hoki o ngā awa me ngā repo;
b: he kaha roa nō te whakamātuatanga a Te Karauna i te whakawhanake i te ōhanga ēngari mō te tiaki i te taiao, nō reirá te urupatunga o te nuinga o Te Nehenehenui; ā
c: nā taua takakino i tōna taiao i whakamaua ai te pāmamae o Ngāti Maniapoto e mau tonu nei ki te motuhenga o taua kaitiakitanga o runga o ngā maunga, ngā whenua, ngā roto, ngā repo, ngā awa me ngā wāhi tapu o tōna rohe. Wāhi Tapu me Ngā Taonga i Tuku Iho
41: He whākīnga anō hoki nā Te Karauna—
a: nā te murunga o ngā whenua o Ngāti Maniapoto te whakawhitinga o ētehi wāhi tapu, mana ā-whakapapa hoki, ki Te Karauna, ki ētehi tāngata paraiwete hoki, ā, i ētehi wā, te tūkinotanga, te turakinga rānei, ka whara ai a Ngāti Maniapoto ā-ahurea, ā-wairua hoki; ā
b: he āwkeke rawa nō Te Karauna ki te tautoko i te ture e karoa ai te tūkinotanga o ngā wāhi mana ā-whakapapa, ā-ahurea o Ngāti Maniapoto. Tākoha ā-ōhanga
42: E whākī ana Te Krauna i ngā tākoha a Ngāti Maniapoto ki te tupu me te whakawhanake ake o Aotearoa, ā, he hua nui rawa atu ki a Aoteroa, tae atu ana ki ngā whenua nā Ngāti Maniapoto i tākoha hei wāhi e hangatia ai Te Ara-o-Tūrongo. E whākī ana anō Te Karauna i ngā hua i riro i a Aotearoa mai i ngā rawekehanga o te taiao o te rohe o Ngāti Maniapoto. Whākīnga whakamutunga
43: E whākī ana Te Karauna nō roto o ngā tau, ka totohetia ai Te Karauna e Ngāti Maniapoto kia whakahōnoretia ōna here ki Te Ōhākī Tapu me Te Tiriti o Waitangi
44: E whākī ana Te Karauna hei aha koa te kounu me te mamae i pā ki a Ngāti Maniapoto mai i te raupatu me te tāmitanga, kua kaha tonu, mai anō, ki te pupuru i tōna ahurea ā-iwi, tōna mana whenua anō hoki, ki te whakahaere tonu o tōna Māoritanga, me te mana rangatiratanga o Ngāti Maniapoto. Opening acknowledgements: rangatiratanga and te Tiriti/the Treaty
1: The Crown acknowledges that,—
a: as at 1840, Ngāti Maniapoto me ōna hapū maha was a prosperous and thriving iwi in control of its own destiny and it sought a mutually beneficial relationship with the Crown; and
b: when Ngāti Maniapoto rangatira signed te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
2: The Crown acknowledges the longstanding grievances of Ngāti Maniapoto and the cumulative effect of the Crown’s breaches of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Taranaki wars
3: The Crown acknowledges that Ngāti Maniapoto carefully weighed the justice of the war in Taranaki in 1860 before intervening in the conflict, which started after the Crown tried to enforce a flawed purchase at Waitara. Labelling as rebels
4: The Crown acknowledges that it unfairly labelled Ngāti Maniapoto as rebels as a result of their involvement in the Taranaki wars. Waikato wars
5: The Crown acknowledges that its representatives and advisers acted unjustly and in breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
a: the deaths of Ngāti Maniapoto who fought against the Crown forces; and
b: the indiscriminate killing of women and children non-combatants, including at Rangiaowhia and Ōrākau; and
c: the gratuitous looting and destruction of Ngāti Maniapoto property, including the treasured whare, Hui-Te-Rangiora, for no strategic reason. Confiscations
6: The Crown acknowledges that it confiscated land in Taranaki and Waikato in which Ngāti Maniapoto had interests. These confiscations were unjust and excessive and breached te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Refugees
7: The Crown acknowledges that Ngāti Maniapoto sheltered their neighbours and whanaunga after the war and confiscations forced them from their homelands. In failing to provide for those displaced as a result of war and confiscations, the Crown placed significant social and economic strain on Ngāti Maniapoto. The Crown acknowledges that this was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Peacefulness and Te Kooti
8: The Crown acknowledges the commitment of Ngāti Maniapoto to peace after 1865, and that Ngāti Maniapoto gave sanctuary to Te Kooti for a number of years after he had agreed to abandon warfare and live in peace. The Sim Commission and Waikato-Maniapoto Maori Claims Settlement Act 1946
9: The Crown acknowledges that the Sim Commission did not hear evidence from Ngāti Maniapoto, and that the 1946 Waikato-Maniapoto settlement that was based on the recommendations of this commission did not sufficiently address the grievances of Ngāti Maniapoto. Te Ōhākī Tapu and lifting of aukati
10: The Crown acknowledges that—
a: Te Ōhākī Tapu was a series of negotiations and agreements between the Crown and Ngāti Maniapoto that began in March 1883 and led to the lifting of an aukati around Te Rohe Pōtae in 1885; and
b: Ngāti Maniapoto considered the Te Ōhākī Tapu agreements to be sacred promises; and
c: Ngāti Maniapoto exercised mana motuhake and mana whakahaere in their own rohe before Te Ōhākī Tapu, and the aukati had prevented the Crown from exercising practical authority in Te Rohe Pōtae; and
d: in June 1883, Ngāti Maniapoto and other iwi petitioned the Crown to give practical effect to te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
e: the Crown was not prepared to agree to the request of Ngāti Maniapoto for their rohe to be excluded from the jurisdiction of the Native Land Court; and
f: the Crown breached Te Ōhākī Tapu by not upholding promises it had made during the negotiations to—
i: extend the powers of Native Committees in Native Land Court processes and local government; and
ii: acquire only as much Ngāti Maniapoto land for the North Island Main Trunk railway line as would be needed for its construction; and
iii: apply no pressure on Ngāti Maniapoto to sell land they wished to lease; and
iv: provide for Ngāti Maniapoto to sell or lease any land they wished to alienate in open market; and
g: the Crown’s failure to uphold these assurances breached te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
11: The Crown further acknowledges that it derived enormous benefits from Te Ōhākī Tapu by being able to construct the North Island Main Trunk railway line through Te Rohe Pōtae, and establish European settlement in the district, but Ngāti Maniapoto did not receive the long-term economic benefits they had been led to expect by the Crown during negotiations. Native land laws and erosion of tribal structures
12: The Crown acknowledges that the operation and impact of the native land laws, in particular the award of Ngāti Maniapoto land to individuals and the enabling of individuals to deal with that land without reference to iwi or hapū, made these lands more susceptible to fragmentation, alienation and partition. This contributed to the erosion of Ngāti Maniapoto tribal structures, which were based on collective tribal and hapū custodianship of land. The Crown acknowledges that its failure to protect these tribal structures was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
13: The Crown acknowledges that at the time of the Aotea-Rohe Pōtae block hearing in 1886, Ngāti Maniapoto rangatira requested that their land be declared inalienable and that, although the Native Land Court declared this block inalienable, when it was later subdivided some of these subdivisions had no alienation restrictions on them and where alienation restrictions were in place they did not prevent the Crown from purchasing land in the Ngāti Maniapoto rohe. Native Land Court
14: The Crown acknowledges that the Native Land Court title determination process carried significant costs, which at times led to further alienations of land. In particular, the Crown acknowledges that Ngāti Maniapoto had to give up unreasonably large amounts of land to pay for survey costs for some subdivisions within the Rangitoto Tuhua block, as well as within other blocks, and that the Crown’s failure to protect Ngāti Maniapoto from this burden was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Agents in the Native Land Court
15: The Crown acknowledges that its land purchase agents attended certain Native Land Court hearings in the 1880s despite Ngāti Maniapoto opposition to the presence of such agents in this court. 1890s Crown purchasing
16: The Crown acknowledges that, when it purchased a large amount of Ngāti Maniapoto land during the 1890s and early 1900s, its imposition of monopoly powers meant it had a heightened Treaty duty to negotiate in good faith. The Crown acknowledges that it misused its monopoly powers by—
a: generally paying unreasonably low prices to Māori; and
b: preventing Ngāti Maniapoto, who had expended large sums of money on having their lands surveyed and subdivided, from paying these costs by the leasing of their lands; and
c: using aggressive purchasing tactics, including threats to compulsorily acquire land, in order to pressure Ngāti Maniapoto to sell their land to the Crown. Through these acts and omissions, the Crown failed to negotiate in good faith or actively protect Ngāti Maniapoto interests in their lands and this was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi North Island Main Trunk railway line compensation and labour contracts
17: The Crown acknowledges that, when it constructed the North Island Main Trunk railway line in Te Rohe Pōtae, it did not pay compensation to Ngāti Maniapoto for the section of the railway south of the Pukenui block and that this breached te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
18: The Crown further acknowledges that, after 1887, it took no steps to ensure that Ngāti Maniapoto were equally as able as European settlers and immigrants to benefit from employment on construction of the North Island Main Trunk railway line in Te Rohe Pōtae. Mōkau blocks
19: The Crown acknowledges that it failed to actively protect Ngāti Maniapoto interests when it purchased 4 land blocks in the Mōkau district during the 1850s, and then took possession of those lands in the 1880s, even though—
a: more than 25 years had elapsed since the purchases had taken place and Ngāti Maniapoto reasonably believed that the Crown had abandoned the lands; and
b: there had been significant protests against the purchases when the deeds were signed and the Crown had not secured the free and informed consent of all rights holders to all the land it acquired; and
c: the deeds did not adequately define the land the Crown was purchasing. Through these acts and omissions the Crown breached te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Mōkau reserves
20: The Crown acknowledges that when purchasing blocks of land in the Mōkau district during the 1850s and taking possession of that land in the 1880s it did not set aside all the reserves Ngāti Maniapoto had expected, as,—
a: in at least 2 instances, it failed to grant reserves Ngāti Maniapoto were entitled to; and
b: it unreasonably delayed granting the remaining reserves, in one case by over a century after the block was sold; and
c: it inadequately protected reserved areas from alienation and allowed occupation of lands meant to be reserved for Ngāti Maniapoto. Through these acts and omissions the Crown breached te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
21: The Crown further acknowledges that Ngāti Maniapoto did not receive the economic benefits the Crown had led them to expect from lands sold as part of the Mōkau Awakino purchases. Mokau-Mohakatino
22: The Crown acknowledges that, despite a long period of protest by the owners of Mokau-Mohakatino against a settler’s attempt to lease the block, it did not consult the owners before promoting the Mokau-Mohakatino Act 1888, which validated a lease in favour of that settler over the block that the owners had not consented to. The Crown acknowledges that it failed to accord Ngāti Maniapoto owners of Mokau-Mohakatino equality of treatment, and failed to respect their mana whakahaere and rangatiratanga over their land, and this was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
23: The Crown further acknowledges that the Mokau-Mohakatino Act 1888, which also provided for the lessee to have monopoly powers to lease additional land in Mokau-Mohakatino, provided an extraordinary degree of support for the claims of a settler against the rights of Ngāti Maniapoto landowners. The Crown concedes that its failure to protect the owners’ interests, when the lessee did not meet their obligations under the lease, contributed to the sale of Mokau-Mohakatino, and this failure to protect Ngāti Maniapoto interests in land they wished to retain was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Native townships
24: The Crown acknowledges that Ngāti Maniapoto consented to the establishment of native townships at Ōtorohanga and Te Kūiti in 1902 because they were confident that their mana whakahaere would be preserved through their elected representatives on the Maniapoto-Tuwharetoa Māori Land Council, which managed the land. Despite this, the Crown promoted legislation in 1905, without consulting Ngāti Maniapoto, that replaced the land council with the Waikato-Maniapoto Māori Land Board, which had only 1 Māori member, who was appointed by the Crown. By promoting this legislation without consulting Ngāti Maniapoto, the Crown failed to respect Ngāti Maniapoto rangatiratanga and this was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Vested land
25: The Crown acknowledges that,—
a: between 1907 and 1910, it compulsorily vested a large amount of Ngāti Maniapoto land in the District Māori Land Board; and
b: it vested this land under legislation which required the Board to sell more land than the Stout-Ngata Royal Commission (which investigated Māori land holdings) considered Ngāti Maniapoto could afford to lose; and
c: it did not require Ngāti Maniapoto consent to the vesting of these lands or to their sale, nor did it provide any mechanism by which Ngāti Maniapoto could take back their land from the control of the Board until 1913; and
d: the Board accordingly sold land without the consent of the Ngāti Maniapoto owners. The Crown acknowledges that by compulsorily vesting land in the District Māori Land Board under legislation that required the Board to sell some of that land without the consent of the owners, the Crown denied Ngāti Maniapoto their mana whakahaere over that land, and breached te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Purchasing individual interests despite landowners’ collective decision
26: The Crown also purchased Ngāti Maniapoto lands that had not been vested in the District Land Board. In relation to these lands, the Crown acknowledges that in the years following 1909, the Crown sometimes purchased the interests of individual owners, despite collective decisions by landowners not to sell their land. In these negotiations, the Crown consciously flouted the collective decision of Ngāti Maniapoto owners not to sell their land by purchasing from individual owners. This made a sham of provisions in the native land laws which provided for collective decision making, and was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Development schemes
27: The Crown acknowledges that—
a: the Crown did not provide funding for the development of their land until the late 1920s, by which time most of the best land of Ngāti Maniapoto had already been alienated; and
b: the Crown charged the costs of development schemes against the land for which they were incurred; and
c: the Crown managed the land in the development schemes and Ngāti Maniapoto sometimes lost control of land for decades while the Crown reduced the debts to manageable levels; and
d: the Crown’s administration of the schemes did not always provide the economic benefits that Ngāti Maniapoto had expected would come from their participation in them. Consolidation schemes
28: The Crown acknowledges that the consolidation scheme it instituted within the Ngāti Maniapoto rohe struggled to achieve its goals and lasted for decades longer than initially planned. The Crown further acknowledges that the scheme could not fix many of the underlying issues which caused fragmented land tenure. Public works, Tokanui
29: The Crown acknowledges that in addition to extensive Crown purchasing it took further lands from Ngāti Maniapoto through numerous public works takings. The Crown acknowledges in particular that it compulsorily acquired a large amount of Ngāti Maniapoto land for Tokanui Mental Hospital without sufficiently detailed planning that demonstrated the need to take that land. That failure led the Crown to acquire an excessive amount of land at Tokanui, most of which was later transferred to the Prisons Department, and came to be used for Waikeria Prison. These public works takings caused significant prejudice to the Ngāti Maniapoto owners whose land base had already diminished as a result of raupatu and extensive Crown purchasing. The Crown acknowledges that its acquisition of the land at Tokanui in these circumstances was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Scenery preservation takings
30: The Crown acknowledges that it further acquired Ngāti Maniapoto land through compulsory takings for scenery preservation. In the case of the Mangoira block, the Crown acknowledges that, when it compulsorily acquired the block in 1912 for the Mokau River Scenic Reserve under the Public Works and the Scenery Preservation Acts 1908, it acquired 3,000 acres of Ngāti Maniapoto land when it only ever required a few hundred acres for the purposes of scenery preservation. The Crown acknowledges that its taking of the Mangoira Block was excessive and constituted a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Twentieth-century Crown purchasing
31: The Crown acknowledges that its cumulative actions and omissions caused Ngāti Maniapoto rapid and significant land loss in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and this had a severe impact on their social and economic well-being. Compulsory acquisition of uneconomic interests
32: The Crown acknowledges that between 1953 and 1974 the Maori Trustee was empowered through legislation, such as the Maori Affairs Act 1953 and the Maori Affairs Amendment Act 1967, to compulsorily acquire uneconomic interests Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Conscription
33: The Crown acknowledges that it imposed conscription on Māori in the First World War using the justification of equality of sacrifice, yet it only conscripted men from the Waikato-Maniapoto district, including Ngāti Maniapoto. However, the Crown knew that Ngāti Maniapoto had volunteered in numbers that were proportionate to their population. This amounted to unequal treatment of Ngāti Maniapoto compared with other iwi who were not conscripted and led to a perception that Ngāti Maniapoto had not contributed adequately to the war effort. Further, the Crown’s failure to recognise Ngāti Maniapoto service in the First World War caused the iwi a deep sense of grievance. Through these acts and omissions, the Crown breached te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Contributions of Ngāti Maniapoto to New Zealand’s war efforts
34: The Crown acknowledges and pays tribute to the Ngāti Maniapoto contribution to New Zealand’s twentieth century war efforts, including military service during the South African War, both World Wars, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Socio-economic issues
35: The Crown acknowledges that—
a: Ngāti Maniapoto have also suffered for too long from inadequate healthcare, housing, and education, as well as reduced employment opportunities and access to financial assistance for housing, when compared to non-Māori; and
b: these factors have had a detrimental effect on the physical, economic, social, cultural and spiritual well-being of Ngāti Maniapoto; and
c: many Ngāti Maniapoto have been forced by their socio-economic circumstances to obtain work in urban centres, which has disconnected them from Ngāti Maniapoto tikanga, their tūrangawaewae and their whānau. Pensions and discrimination
36: The Crown acknowledges that Māori, including Ngāti Maniapoto, suffered discrimination through receiving lower pensions than many other New Zealanders during the first 4 decades of the twentieth century, and that by discriminating against Ngāti Maniapoto in this manner it breached te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Prohibition
37: The Crown acknowledges the efforts by Ngāti Maniapoto leaders to institute and maintain a prohibition on alcohol within their rohe between 1884–1954 in response to the damaging effects of alcohol on their people and despite pressure from among the growing European population in the rohe of Ngāti Maniapoto to remove it. Education
38: The Crown acknowledges that the education system in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries aimed to assimilate Ngāti Maniapoto students and held lower expectations for their educational achievement. In addition, Ngāti Maniapoto children were punished, including through the infliction of corporal punishment, for speaking te reo Māori on school grounds. The Crown acknowledges that these experiences have contributed to members of Ngāti Maniapoto losing their cultural identity and understanding of tikanga and mātauranga, and have been a factor in the poorer socio-economic circumstances that many Ngāti Maniapoto have lived with. Te Reo Māori
39: The Crown acknowledges that it did not actively protect Te Reo Māori and promote its use amongst Ngāti Maniapoto. The Crown further acknowledges that this contributed to a loss of Te Reo Māori among many Ngāti Maniapoto and has made it harder to pass on the language and tikanga to new generations. The Crown acknowledges that its failure actively to protect Te Reo was a breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Environment
40: The Crown acknowledges that—
a: before 1840 Ngāti Maniapoto were kaitiaki of Te Nehenehenui, the great forest covering much of their rohe, which was home to numerous species of flora and fauna, and contained unspoiled awa and repo; and
b: the Crown long prioritised economic development over environmental protection, and this led to the destruction of most of Te Nehenehenui; and
c: the harm caused to their natural taonga has created deep grievances for Ngāti Maniapoto, who continue to maintain a special relationship of kaitiakitanga over the maunga, whenua, roto, repo, awa and wāhi tapu in their rohe. Wāhi tapu and heritage
41: The Crown further acknowledges that—
a: the alienation of Ngāti Maniapoto lands has resulted in wāhi tapu and sites of historical significance to Ngāti Maniapoto being transferred into the ownership of the Crown and private individuals and, sometimes, being damaged or destroyed, causing cultural and spiritual injury to Ngāti Maniapoto; and
b: the Crown was slow to promote heritage legislation that might have protected Ngāti Maniapoto cultural and historical sites of significance from harm. Economic contribution
42: The Crown acknowledges all the contributions Ngāti Maniapoto have made to the growth and development of Aotearoa/New Zealand and from which New Zealand as a whole has greatly benefited, including land Ngāti Maniapoto gifted for the construction of the North Island Main Trunk railway line. The Crown further acknowledges the benefits New Zealand has obtained through the exploitation of natural resources from the rohe of Ngāti Maniapoto. Closing acknowledgements
43: The Crown acknowledges that, over the years, Ngāti Maniapoto have regularly called on the Crown to honour its commitments under Te Ōhākī Tapu and te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
44: The Crown acknowledges that, despite the dislocation and suffering Ngāti Maniapoto have endured as a result of colonisation, they have always striven to uphold their tribal unity and mana whakahaere by preserving their Māoritanga and Ngāti Maniapoto rangatiratanga.
10: Apology
The text of the apology offered by the Crown to Ngāti Maniapoto, as set out in the deed of settlement, is as follows: Te whākīnga Hara a te Karauna ki a Ngāti Maniapoto
“(a): Ki a Ngāti Maniapoto me ō hapū huhua, ki ō tūpuna, ki ō rangatira, ki ō kaumātua, ki āu nā tamariki, mokopuna, ki Te Whare o Te Nehenehenui, e tukuna ana e Te Karauna tēnei whākīnga o te hara kua roa nei te whakatika. Nō Te Karauna te tino hē.
b: Kei te nui te manawa pā o Te Karauna ki te nui o ana takahinga o Te Tiriti o Waitangi
c: Kei te nui whakaharahara te whakapāha a Te Karauna ki te kino weriweri me te kore whai take o āna mahi pakanga, raupatu hoki, nāna i nui rawa atu ai tō pāmamae i heke iho i ō tūpuna ki a koe o tēnei wā. Ēngari mō te whakawehi ki tō mana whakahaere, ka patua, ka takakinohia tō iwi e Te Karauna, ka murua ō whenua, ō rawa. Kāore i kaha kē ake tō māia, tō hautoa i kō mai o tō tū i Ōrākau. Heoi anō, i tapā koe hei whakakeke
d: Nō muri mai o ngā pakanga, ka whakatūria e koe te aukati, puru rānei, e pupurutia ai tō mana motuhake. He āwhiti nō Te Karauna, kihai kē ia i whakawehi ki a koe, ka whiua kē ki runga ki a Ngāti Maniapoto te kapua taimaha hei whakahau i a koe ki te whakawātea i ō whenua ki Te Ara-o-Tūrongo, te Rerewē Matua o Te Ika a Māui, me te nōhanga a te Pākehā. Hei aha koa te hara a Te Karauna ko tāu nā he hiahia ki te tiritiri i tētehi rākau pai. I te noho wātea koe ki te whakawhirinaki ki Te Karauna ka tūria ai Te Ōhākī Tapu. I whakapono koe ki ngā kī tapu a Te Karauna.
e: He pāpōuri nō Te Karauna kīhai kē ia i āta whai i ngā oati mana o roto o Te Ōhākī Tapu, he whākīnga hara tūturu nāna o tāna takahi i aua kī tapu. Ēngari mō te whakawehi ki tō mana whakahaere, ka āreia kē e Te Karauna tāu nā whakahaere i ō whenua ake ki tāu e hiahia ai. Ka whakatūria e Te Karauna ngā ture whenua Māori i tukua ai ki te tangata kotahi ō whenua ā-iwi, ka whakatukihia hoki te rironga o ngā rohenga whānui. I rārara ngā ringaringa raweke a Te Karauna.
f: E whākī ana Te Karauna i te hara o te whakaiki o te whakatoihara mauroa o āna takahinga, whakarerenga kētanga i Te Ōhākī Tapu me Te Tiriti i whakatakahia ai ki runga i a koe. Kīhai i riro i a Maniapoto ngā painga ōhanga mai i Te Ōhākī Tapu i oatitia ai e Te Karauna. Nō reira te nui whakaharahara o te rawakore ki runga i ō hapū, whānau hoki, me te āhua o te noho kino ake i tō tauiwi noho. I aukatitia koe mai i te tika o te pito mata tūturu o te tōnui ā-papori, ā –ohanga hoki, inā rā ko tāu nā whawhai ki te pupuru tonu i tōu ake tuakiri me tō reo ake anō hoki. I rawa kore a Ngāti Maniapoto, i whara nui tō reo me ō tikanga.
g: Ka takahia e Te Karauna tō whakawhirinaki i a ia me āna whakaoatia ki ō tūpuna. Tēnei Te Karauna e rapu nei ināianei te ara whakatika i aua hara nāna i taka ai ki runga i a koe. He rapu murunga hara tēnei. E anga ana te titiro a Te Karauna ki ngā rā kei te heke mai me te whakahou i tētehi mahinga ngātahitanga mauroa me Maniapoto e ai ki te wairua o Te Ōhākī Tapu, mai i te Tiriti o Waitangi E Hanga paitia tatou kia piri ai ki te piringa pono … ”. Apology
“(a): To Ngāti Maniapoto me ōna hapū maha, to your tūpuna, your rangatira, your kaumātua, your tamariki and mokopuna, ki a koutou katoa o Te Whare o Te Nehenehenui, the Crown delivers this long overdue apology. Nō te Karauna te tino hē (the Crown was at great fault).
b: The Crown is truly sorry for its many breaches of te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi
c: The Crown profoundly regrets its horrific and needless acts of war and raupatu, which have caused you and your hapū inter-generational suffering. Instead of respecting your mana whakahaere, the Crown killed and injured your people, and pillaged your land and property. Nowhere did you fight with more courage and tenacity than at the battle of Ōrākau. However, you were labelled as ‘rebels’ by the Crown and left to care for the many refugees seeking your shelter. Kei te nui te aroha (Great was your generosity).
d: Following the wars, you established an aukati or puru to protect your mana motuhake. The Crown regrets that, instead of respecting you, it placed a kapua taimaha, a heavy cloud of pressure, upon Ngāti Maniapoto to induce your people to open up your lands to Te Ara-o- Tūrongo, part of the North Island Main Trunk railway line, and European settlement. Despite the Crown’s hara or wrongdoings, you wanted to plant a tree of goodwill, tētahi rākau pai. You were willing to trust the Crown and entered into Te Ōhākī Tapu. I whakapono koutou ki ngā kī tapu a te Karauna (You trusted the Crown’s solemn words).
e: The Crown regrets that it quickly disregarded the solemn promises in Te Ōhākī Tapu it had made to you and sincerely apologises for breaching them. Instead of respecting your mana whakahaere, the Crown prevented you from managing your lands as you saw fit. The Crown promoted native land laws that led to the award of your tribal lands to individuals and aggressively acquired huge areas of your rohe. I rarara ngā ringaringa raweke a te Karauna (The meddling hands of the Crown spread out).
f: The Crown apologises for the devastating long-term prejudice its acts, omissions and violations of Te Ōhākī Tapu and te Tiriti have caused you. Ngāti Maniapoto did not receive the economic benefits from Te Ōhākī Tapu that the Crown had led you to expect. As a result, your hapū and whānau have faced significant socio-economic deprivation and lived in worse conditions than non-Māori. You were prevented from reaching your full social and economic potential and had to fight to maintain your Maniapoto identity and language. I rawa kore a Ngāti Maniapoto, I whara nui tō reo me ō tikanga (Ngāti Maniapoto were impoverished and your language and customs greatly affected).
g: The Crown broke your trust and the whakaoati made to your tūpuna. The Crown now seeks to make amends for the wrongs it has committed against you. He rapu murunga hara tēnei (this is to seek atonement). The Crown looks forward to the future and forging a renewed and enduring partnership with Ngāti Maniapoto in accordance with the spirit of Te Ōhākī Tapu and based on te Tiriti o Waitangi Treaty of Waitangi Hanga paitia tatou kia piri ai ki te piringa pono. Let us conduct ourselves in a proper way so that we may be bound together by a bond of faith.” Interpretation provisions

a: Ngā Wai o Maniapoto are awa tūpuna and living taonga to Ngāti Maniapoto. The relationship between Ngāti Maniapoto and Ngā Wai o Maniapoto is historic, cultural, physical, and spiritual. Generations of the tribe have long exercised their kaitiakitanga responsibilities and other tikanga in relation to the waterways and the associated beds, banks, fisheries, plants, taniwha, and mauri (life force) of Ngā Wai o Maniapoto:
b: Ngā Wai o Maniapoto have been, and continue to be, central to—
i: the way of life and the spiritual and physical well-being of Maniapoto; and
ii: their tribal identity and culture:
c: Ngā Wai o Maniapoto include the Waipā, the Mangapu, the Marokopa, the Mōkau, the Mangapeehi, the Ongārue, the Waimiha, the Ōhura, and the Taringamotu rivers. There is a long history of Ngāti Maniapoto occupation along those waterways, a number of which were navigable waters that allowed Ngāti Maniapoto hapū and others to travel and trade afar:
d: these waters were also a critical source of sustenance, a fishery for īnanga, tuna, and freshwater crayfish as well as watercress and other plant life:
e: there are a number of taniwha associated with Ngā Wai o Maniapoto, not least Waiwaiā and Tūheitia, being spiritual guardians of all things that are the Waipā River. Another is Papaki Rae, 1 of 6 placed along the Ongārue River. Tradition also talks about Te Rua o te Taniwha, the lair of the taniwha near the mouth of the Marokopa River. These guardians remain there to this day:
f: Ngā Wai o Maniapoto, including the associated creeks, streams, wetlands, springs, rivers, and lakes within the area of interest, as well as the coastal waters within the area of interest, have a deep historic, intellectual, physical, and spiritual significance to Ngāti Maniapoto.
