WAITANGI TRIBUNAL MAKES INTERIM RECOMMENDATION TO RETURN MANGATU CROWN FOREST LICENSED LAND TO MAORI OWNERSHIPThe Waitangi Tribunal has today released the Mangatu Remedies Report in pre-publication format. In the report, the Waitangi Tribunal makes an interim recommendation that the Crown return to Maori ownership those parts of the Mangatu Crown forest land which lie in the north of the Turanganui a Kiwa (Gisborne) district, together with monetary compensation. In 2018 the Mangatu Remedies Inquiry heard applications for such a recommendation from claimant groups: Te Aitanga a Mahaki and the Mangatu Incorporation, Nga Uri o Tamanui, and Te Whanau a Kai. Another group, Te Rangiwhakataetaea-Wi Haronga-Ngati Matepu, participated in the Inquiry as an interested party. The purpose of the Remedies Inquiry was to determine whether the Tribunal should exercise its powers, under section 8HB of the Treaty of Waitangi Act, to recommend the return of the Mangatu Crown forest land to Maori ownership...... www.voxy.co.nz/national/5/393379
