Ngati Aukiwa working party is a team made up of descendants concerned the current process of negotiation, settlement, and post settlement management of assets, in matters concerning Te Tiriti O Waitangi, currently being imposed on Ngati Aukiwa by Crown and Government agencies.
There is a belief within Ngati Aukiwa that negotiation and settlement of Te Tiriti O Waitangi claims made by our Tupuna is a matter between Crown and Hapu. Moverover desendants collectively are consulted and invited to approve any negotiations and eventual settlement between Ngati Aukiwa and the Crown.
There is a realisation that making information available to descendants is the most important aspect in achieving the best possible long term outcomes for our Hapu. Maintaining the power of desicion, effecting all generations to come, is held within Ngati Aukiwa Hapu and made real by it's descendants. |
