PINK AND WHITE TERRACES INCLUDED IN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT BILLThe next step in an $11 million deed of settlement signed by the Crown and Bay of Plenty iwi Ngāti Rangitihi is about to be taken, with the opening of submissions on a bill relating to the deal. The Ngāti Rangitihi Claims Settlement Bill will record acknowledgements and an apology made to the iwi – which traces its origins to Te Arawa waka and has interests around Rotorua, Kaingaroa, and Matatā – for breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi and its principles. Significantly, it will also involve the transfer of 19 sites of deep significance to the iwi, including the former site of the Pink and White Terraces known as Ō-tū-kapua-rangi me Te Tarata. Another important feature of the bill is that it includes provisions about the natural resources arrangement over the Tarawera River. The settlement establishes the Tarawera Awa Restoration Strategy Group, which would operate as a permanent joint committee of the Bay of Plenty Regional Council...... www.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/125589486/pink-and-white-terraces-included-in-claims-settlement-bill
