Te Arawa Settlement Bill Introduced

On 17 June 2008, the Government introduced the Affiliate Te Arawa Iwi and Hapu Claims Settlement Bill.

This proposed legislation will give effect to the deed of settlement signed between a collective of 11 Te Arawa affiliated iwi and hapu (“Te Arawa”) and the Crown on 11 June 2008. The Bill will settle the historical claims of the Te Arawa groups that signed the deed of settlement.

The proposed settlement includes an apology and commercial and cultural redress including the return of lands previously in Crown hands.

The Bill also notes that Te Arawa’s interests in the Central North Island Crown forest lands will be addressed through a separate Central North Island settlement deed. The legislation for that settlement was introduced on 18 June 2008.
