This apology is long overdue. 20 (b) The Crown is profoundly sorry for the many hardships and tribulations Ngāti Rangitihi have endured, and unreservedly apologises for its failure to fulfil its obligations to you under the Treaty of Waitangi. (c) The Crown sincerely apologises for its aggressive acquisition of Ngāti Rangitihi lands, even when Ngāti Rangitihi were dealing with the tragic 25 consequences of the Tarawera eruption. (d) The Crown deeply regrets that in the aftermath of the eruption, and despite recognising that Ngāti Rangitihi were a “wandering landless people” suffering deprivation and uncertainty, it still took almost 30 years to provide Ngāti Rangitihi with a secure title to the Hauani land. 30 The Crown apologises for failing to ensure that Ngāti Rangitihi had suf‐ ficient land for your present and future needs. (e) The Crown’s failure to protect the Tarawera River, a taonga of immense economic, cultural, and spiritual significance to Ngāti Rangitihi, left the river defiled, degraded and polluted. The Crown’s acquisition of Ngāti 35 Rangitihi lands combined with environmental damage has had a devas‐ tating social and economic impact on Ngāti Rangitihi, undermined your cultural hauora and left you feeling as strangers in your own rohe. For this the Crown apologises. (f) It is the Crown’...

In 1840, Ngāti Rangitihi were part of a Te Arawa inter-hapū hui that agreed not to sign the Treaty of Waitangi or accept the authority of the Crown at that time. During the 1840s and 1850s, Ngāti Rangitihi successfully engaged with the emerging colonial economy. Following inter-iwi conflict in the 1850s, Ngāti Rangitihi worked to maintain peace in their rohe.5 10(2)In 1864, Ngāti Rangitihi decided to join a Te Arawa force fighting alongside a Crown contingent that defeated a Tai Rāwhiti taua supporting the Kīngitanga. From 1865 through to 1872, Ngāti Rangitihi forces assisted the Crown against Pai Mārire forces and other iwi, including supporters of Te Kooti. In 1866, large-scale Crown confiscations in the Bay of Plenty included lands to which 15 Ngāti Rangitihi had connections. Ngāti Rangitihi rangatira made extensive claims in the confiscation district, but these were not fully investigated. The Native Land Court granted Ngāti Rangitihi a 300-acre block to settle these claims, and several other blocks to reward their military service. (3)The Crown promoted land laws in the 1860s which individualised the tribal land tenure of Māori. Between the 1870s and the 1890s, the Native Land Court investigated the areas where Ngāti Rangitihi claimed interests. The Court sys‐ tem involved significant costs for Ngāti Rangitihi, particularly for surveying. Although Ngāti Rangitihi rangatira protested against the outcomes of many court decisions, the Crown largely ignored their complaints.20 25(4)In the 1870s the Crown leased areas from Ngāti Rangitihi before the Native Land Court had awarded land titles. The Crown suspended the activities of the Native Land Court in the Bay of Plenty from 1873 to 1877 and stopped paying rent on untitled lands during this time. The Crown later treated any lease pay‐ ments it had made as advance purchase payments. The Crown generally acted 30 as a monopoly purchaser, and aggressively purchased Ngāti Rangitihi lands. Ngāti Rangitihi, devastated by the effects of the 1886 Mount Tarawera erup‐ tion, had to sell land they may otherwise have wanted to retain. By 1900 they were virtually landless. The Crown purchased roughly 169,000 acres of land inwhich Ngāti Rangitihi had been aw...
