TE KAPU O WAITAHA

Strategic Refresh 2025 - 2030

A Treaty of Waitangi settlement is an agreement between the Crown and a claimant group to settle historical Treaty of Waitangi grievances with the Crown.

Historical claims were registered with the Waitangi Tribunal. The Waitangi Tribunal then looks into the claims by Māori relating to Treaty of Waitangi breaches.

Should an iwi wish to enter into negotiations with the Crown to settle these claims, they may seek to engage with the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations. Hon Paul Goldsmith is the current Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations.
