Mahlon worked for many years to ensure that the grievances of Ngāti Tūrangitukua were heard and acknowledged and his contribution to our hapū will never be forgotten. The claim itself and the journey towards settlement could not have been made without the tireless work of the hapū, its negotiating team and particularly the work of the late Mahlon Kaira Nepia. However the pain of the past will not be forgotten and it is important that our tamariki learn of the mistakes that were made so as not to allow them to be repeated. The Settlement of the Claim has allowed Ngāti Tūrangitukua to work towards a brighter, collective future. The Ngāti Tūrangitukua Charitable Trust was established to manage the assets on behalf of the hapū. Although there is no change to the management or public use of the reserves, one of the key roles of the Trust is to maintain the Deed of Settlement. Ngāti Tūrangitukua received title to ten reserves managed by the Taupo District Council. The value of the settlement does not directly compensate for the losses suffered by Ngāti Tūrangitukua but provides a platform for the hapū to build on.Īrrangements to improve the Ngāti Tūrangitukua relationship with local authorities form part of the settlement. The apology from the Crown is a very significant element of the settlement and clears the way for Ngāti Tūrangitukua and the Crown to form an honourable relationship. Most of the settlement affects the Tūrangi township. The settlement includes an apology by the Crown for its wrongdoings and a redress package of cash, land and administrative arrangements. It aims to restore the Mana of Ngāti Tūrangitukua and the honour of the Crown by settling this historic, but recent, grievance. The settlement covers claims made by Ngati Turangitukua arising from the creation of the Tūrangi township, in the central North Island, in the 1960s and the development of the Tongariro power scheme. The Ngāti Tūrangitukua Claims Settlement Act 1999 gives effect to this settlement. On 26 September 1998, the Crown signed a Deed of Settlement with the Ngāti Tūrangitukua hapu of Ngāti Tūwharetoa. The Ngāti Tūrangitukua Charitable Trust is the post settlement entity that is responsible for managing the assets that Ngāti Tūrangitukua received under wai 84 the Tūrangi Township settlement. ![]()
