Motiti : Report on the Te Moutere o Motiti Inquiry

Wai 2521

Motiti: Report on the Te Moutere o Motiti Inquiry addresses a claim that the Crown breached the principles of Te Tiriti by failing to recognise Nga Hapu o te Moutere o Motiti as an independent tribal group who warrant their own Treaty settlement, instead wrongly assuming they were covered by the Ngati Awa settlement.

The inquiry centred on a 2015 - 16 process, termed the kinship review, by which the Crown sought to assess the claimants assertion that they are a distinct tribal group, separate from Ngati Awa, and their historical Treaty claims thus remain unsettle
