Whakatōhea iwi sign historic Treaty settlement
After decades of negotiation, the Whakatōhea iwi of the eastern Bay of Plenty signed a Treaty of Waitangi settlement with the Crown, returning land and providing redress.
Whakatōhea is one of several iwi to reach a Treaty of Waitangi settlement with the Crown. Settlements typically include a Crown apology, cultural redress and financial and commercial redress, and are documented by Te Arawhiti — the Office for Māori Crown Relations.
