(AGENPARL) – WELLINGTON (NEW ZEALAND) mar 20 giugno 2023 Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations Minister Andrew Little today welcomed Ng?ti Hei to Parliament to witness the first reading of the Ng?ti Hei Claims Settlement Bill.
Ng?ti Hei trace their origins to Kupe, and Te Arawa waka. Their area of interest runs along the eastern seaboard of the Coromandel Peninsula from Onemana to Whangapoua, centered around Tairua and Ahuahu and includes offshore islands extending north to Cuvier Island. The 2018 Census estimates Ng?ti Hei as having approximately 630 members.
“Today is a significant day for Ng?ti Hei and the Crown having reached this significant milestone towards recognition of their historical Treaty of Waitangi claims,” Andrew Little said.
“Ng?ti Hei hold a unique place in New Zealand history. In November 1769, Ng?ti Hei hosted the first recorded p?whiri for p?keh? when their paramount chief Toawaka invited Captain Cook to the fortified p? Wharet?ewa in Whitianga.
“Despite these positive beginnings, even before Te Tiriti ? Waitangi was signed, the negative effects of P?keha settlement were felt by Ng?ti Hei,” Andrew Little said.
Ng?ti Hei’s historical grievances relate to the promotion of laws and policies that damaged the environment, severely undermined their wellbeing, left them virtually landless, and compromised their ability to pass m?tauranga M?ori to their mokopuna.
The settlement includes:
financial and commercial redress of $8.5 million.
cultural redress including the return of 15 sites of cultural significance to Ng?ti Hei.
protocols, relationship agreements and letters of introduction with a range of Crown agencies. 
enacting a M?ori Land Court order to vest Ohinau Island in the Ng?ti Hei governance entity.
“The settlement is grounded in the Crown’s acknowledgement of this history and The Crown’s apology for its breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi,” Andrew Little said.
“While no treaty settlement will ever be able to compensate Ng?ti Hei for the true measure of loss they have suffered, it is my sincere hope that this settlement will provide a foundation for the cultural, social and economic future of Ng?ti Hei to atone for these injustices.”
