History
editOne group of Whanganui Māori, Whanganui Iwi, includes Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi and other hapū who signed the Ruruku Whakatupua Treaty of Waitangi settlement in 2015.[1]
On 29 January 2026, the New Zealand Parliament passed legislation formalising the New Zealand Crown's Treaty of Waitangi settlement with Ngāti Hāua. The settlement package included NZ$19 million worth of financial redress, the return of 64 culturally-significant sites and posthumous pardons for Mātene Rita Te Whareaitu and Te Rangiātea.[2]
