6: Acknowledgements and apology
Sections 7 8
7: Text of acknowledgements
The text of the acknowledgements, as set out in the deed of settlement, is as follows:
1: The Crown acknowledges that it has failed to deal with the longstanding grievances of the Affiliate in an appropriate way and that recognition of the grievances of the Affiliate is long overdue.
2: The Crown acknowledges that—
a: it did not consult with the Affiliate on native land legislation prior to its enactment; and
b: the operation and impact of the native land laws, in particular the awarding of land to individuals and the enabling of individuals to deal with that land without reference to the iwi and hapu, made the lands of the Affiliate more susceptible to partition, fragmentation, and alienation. This contributed to the erosion of the traditional tribal structures of the Affiliate, which were based on collective tribal and hapu custodianship of land; and
c: it failed to take steps to adequately protect the traditional tribal structures of the Affiliate, and this had a prejudicial effect on the Affiliate and was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
3: The Crown acknowledges that the combined effect of certain Crown actions meant that the Crown failed to actively protect the interests of the Affiliate in the land they wished to retain, and that this was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles. The actions include—
a: the Crown’s use of payments for land before title to the land was determined by the Native Land Court:
b: the aggressive purchase techniques employed on occasion by the Crown:
c: the Crown’s use and implementation of its monopoly powers over dealings in the land of the Affiliate.
4: The Crown acknowledges that—
a: a large amount of Affiliate land has been alienated since 1840; and
b: the combined effect of the Crown’s actions and omissions has left some of the Affiliate virtually landless; and
c: its failure to ensure that all members of the Affiliate were left with sufficient land for their present and future needs was a breach of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles.
5: The Crown acknowledges that lands of particular significance to the Affiliate, including land at Te Ariki, Okere Falls, and lands with geothermal surface features at Orakei Korako and Rotorua Airport, were taken under public works legislation. The Crown acknowledges that these takings have impeded the ability of the Affiliate to exercise control over its taonga and wahi tapu and maintain and foster spiritual connections with those ancestral lands. This has resulted in a sense of grievance among the Affiliate that still exists today.
6: The Crown acknowledges—
a: the generosity of the Affiliate in gifting land containing scenic sites to the nation; and
b: that, in the case of land gifted by Ngati Pikiao for the Rotoiti Scenic Reserve and at the time of gifting, the Crown had been undertaking measures to compulsorily acquire a greater area of land under the Scenery Preservation Act 1908.
7: The Crown acknowledges that the Affiliate considers the geothermal resource a taonga. The Crown also acknowledges that the following matters have caused a sense of grievance within the Affiliate that is still held today:
a: the passing of the Geothermal Energy Act 1953; and
b: the loss of lands containing geothermal features for public works purposes.
8: The Crown acknowledges that—
a: Affiliate expectations of an ongoing and mutually beneficial relationship with the Crown were not always realised; and
b: twentieth-century land development did not always provide the economic opportunities and benefits that the Affiliate expected.
9: The Crown acknowledges that the Affiliate has been loyal to the Crown in honouring its obligations and responsibilities under the Treaty of Waitangi, especially, but not exclusively, in war service overseas by some of its members. The Crown pays tribute to the contribution made by the Affiliate to the defence of the nation.
8: Text of apology
The text of the apology, as set out in the deed of settlement, is as follows:
1: The Crown recognises the efforts and struggles of the ancestors of the Affiliate in pursuit of their claims for redress, justice, and compensation and makes this apology to the members of the Affiliate, to their ancestors, and to their descendants.
2: The Crown profoundly regrets and unreservedly apologises to the Affiliate for the breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles, acknowledged in section 7
3: The Crown profoundly regrets and unreservedly apologises for the cumulative effect of its actions over the generations, which have undermined tribal structures and had a damaging impact on the landholdings and development of the Affiliate.
4: Accordingly, the Crown seeks to atone for these wrongs and assist the process of healing with this settlement, and looks forward to building a relationship of mutual trust and co-operation with the Affiliate.
