TREATY OF WAITANGI
Negotiation - Deeds of Settlement
GENERAL INTRODUCTIONS
Department of Conservation Treaty information.
Given the particular importance of the land and other natural resources administered by the Department to Māori, the Department is included as a member of each Crown negotiating team.
Office of Treaty Settlements, Ministerial briefings.
Keep up to date with various stages of claimant groups who are in the process of establishing negotiation with the Crown.
CLAIMS PROCESS
Office of Treaty Settlements Claims Progress information
Under the Treaty of Waitangi Act, any Maori may lodge a claim with the Waitangi Tribunal although the Government prefers that settlements are concluded with large natural groupings eg all the claims of a large tribe. The number of registered claims therefore gives an inflated picture of how many settlements will be required. Settlements are currently occurring at a rate of about one every six months.
