IN THIS ISSUE

The Ngāti Porou Deed of Settlement is the final settlement of all historical Treaty of Waitangi claims of Ngāti Porou resulting from acts or omissions by the Crown prior to 21 September 1992, and is made up of a package that includes:

• an agreed historical account and Crown acknowledgements, which form the basis for a Crown Apology to Ngāti Porou;

The benefits of the settlement will be available to all members of Ngāti Porou, wherever they live.
